[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Nothing much matters to me so I don't see why
I should hold so tightly to a memory that I can't speak of
I think about it nightly, how you opened up your life for me
Why are you still lonely?
Though I'm not the type who begs
Thinking how you'd open up your legs

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And I'm farther from you every day
All right, yeah
Farther from you every day
Farther, all right

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
And a woman talking to herself gathers up the shit she couldn't sell
Chances don't bode well tomorrow and
Talking to myself pass by, I miss you
But not the face you make
Like when you found me out for the fake I am
So easily you see through me
What do you do to me to make me treat you so bad?
I keep hoping that you'll speak to me

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
But I'm farther from you every day
Yeah, aw yeah
Farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and all the people we are fading into
All right, farther from you every day

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
There was a sound, but I don't know how it goes
I remember all the lows we've been through, blew in from the coast
You said, you are of the Earth and I am of the sky
I don't even know what the hell that means

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and all the people we are fading into
Farther from you every day
And I think about you dying years from now
Never having known who you are
This could be a big mistake
Farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and all the people we are fading into
Farther from you every day
And I think about you dying years from now
Never having known who you are
Farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and all the people we are fading into
Farther from you every day
And I think about you dying years from now
Never having known who you are

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
