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 to 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 getting close
