Life lives alone on the top of a hill 
Tonight the moon is closer than it's been 
In three hundred years 
And if you feel like the weakest link 
Well you just let your body sink 
To the peace underneath 

Sometimes I see life from a distance 
Sometimes I see life from a distance 

Your good intent is just how it should be 
Never a lie has been so well hidden 
In so many years 
Don't blame the mess on who brought the message 
You don't want to hear just what the truth brings to so many ears 

Sometimes I see life from a distance 
Sometimes I see life from a distance 
Like my pale insignificance 

Tonight the moon is closer than it's been 
In three hundred years 

Sometimes I see life from a distance 
Sometimes I see life from a distance 
Like my pale insignificance
