China all the way to new york
i can feel the distance getting close
you're right next to me
but i need an airplane
i can feel the distance as you breathe
Sometimes i think you want me to touch you
how can i when you build a great wall around you
in your eyes i saw a future together
you just look away in the distance

china decorates our table
funny how the cracks don't seem to show
pour the wine dear
you say we'll take a holiday
but we never can agree on where to go

sometimes i think you want me to touch you
how can i when you build a great wall around you
in your eyes i saw a future together
you just look away in the distance

china all the way to new york
maybe you got lost in mexico
you're right next to me
i think that you can hear me
funny how the distance learns to grow

sometimes i think you want me to touch you
how can i when you build a great wall around you
i can feel the distance
i can feel the distance
i can feel the distance getting close
