The Closest and the Farthest

Coast-to-coast communication's getting harder every day And the thought of fewer minutes on the line Gets me feeling pretty sad But that makes the words we say that much more precious And the meanings much more clear And the distance that we face won't replace All the memories we've had Don't you find it funny and strange? Even after change after change Whoever comes along No matter what we do or say The one I am the closest to Is the one who lives the farthest away Living the dream doesn't matter If your friends are not around And their absence leaves a hole inside my heart I have yet to fully fill But a line or two of text or a call in the night Eases the pain I have not grown tired of that so far And I don't think I ever will Don't you find it funny and strange? Even after change after change Whoever comes along No matter what we do or say The one I am the closest to Is the one who lives the farthest away "I love you" is just a string of words And what it means really just depends It means the world coming from The very best of friends... Don't you find it funny and strange? Even after change after change Whoever comes along No matter what we do or say The one I am the closest to Is the one who lives the farthest away The one I am the closest to Is the one who lives the farthest away
