         C                     F
I still wait, cause there's a part of me
  Am                       G
Knowing that I need that space to be
           C          F
Create my path into the unknown
 Am                    G
Circle and back into what means most

          C                   Dm
I keep a distance, but not on purpose
           Am                G
And I can tell you feel the same
          C            Dm
The expectations in situations
     Am           G
Are driving me insane

                              F    G       Am
And it don't matter cause I push right through
                       F    Em    Am
Do you understand I'm just like you?
                           F G   Am
All the doubts that I have ever had
                     G
Were never built to last

                        F
That's why we're distant
C                  G
For our own purpose
Am                      F C G
That's why we're di-di-di-
Am                G
That's why we're distant

It's hard to know if these thoughts are true
If I'm driftin', I'm shiftin' my point of view
'Cause I've been told I need to separate
Get away from the crowd and carve my way

I keep a distance for my own purpose
And I can tell you feel the same
The expectations and situations
Are driving me insane

Chorus:
And it don't matter 'cause I push right through
Do you understand I'm just like you?
All the doubts that I have ever had
Were never built to last

That's why we're distant
For our own purpose
That's why we're di-di-di-
That's why we're distant

C                  F
Distant, distant, distant (Distance)
      Am                G
This purpose, purpose, purpose (Purpose)
This distance, distant, distant (Distant)
This purpose (Purpose)

That's why we're distant (Distant, distant)
For our own purpose (Purpose, purpose)
That's why we're di-di-di- (Distant, this purpose)
That's why we're distant

For our own purpose
That's why we're di-di-di- (Distant, distant)
I keep a distance
For our own purpose
That's why we're different
