I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be
You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one
Sometimes I need you naked,
sometimes I need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in
and I need you to kill a child
You know who I am
If you should ever track me down
I will surrender there
and I will leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair
You know who I am
I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be
You know who I am
