You've been pushing my buttons
Oh I love you, but I have to go away
I tell you something
We better listen to the things that mother said
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together
Keeps us together
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together

I'm feeling the fear but I know
I've got to hold on to the line
I tell ya it gets easier with time
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together
Helps us to measure
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together

I've got to cut loose the chains
You see you're looking ahead
You know it's good for your health
And I want you to say it yourself

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
Won't you hear me now?
I know you hear me now

Father
I hate to see you fade into the black
And yes I love you
But I think it's time for me to change my tracks
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together

I've got to cut loose the chains
You see you're looking ahead
You know it's good for your health
And I want you to say it yourself
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together
The distance between us keeps us together
Keeps us together

I've got to cut loose the chains
You see you're looking ahead
You know it's good for your health
And I want you to say it yourself

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
I know you hear me now
Won't you hear me now?
I know you hear me now
I've got to cut loose the chains
