Artist: Maxïmo Park
Song: distance makes
Distance makes the heart dissolve
Like little pills cloud water
Dissolving inch by inch
Separating a fraction further
You helped to shape this space
We'd gaze at dancers
The view it fluctuates
Flattened bodies blown on the floor
Within a rectangle of cool green lines
We watched them in the wall
We breath beside each other
The stars, our landmarks
And we don't use them
The stars, our landmarks
You can't swing from them
I wish this was an endurance test
But there are no limits
I sent a letter to my own address
While you lived in it
You used to drink from that glass
Decorated in Scandinavia
You nearly ironed me out
And now I've changed my behavior
This morning I saw a blue metal star
I was on tiptoes high above the back yard
Competing with the real thing
It ends up dominating
The stars, our landmarks
And we don't use them
The stars, our landmarks
You can't swing from them
Everyone's got their own idea
Of Utopia and why we're here
The stars, our landmarks
And we don't use them
The stars, our landmarks
You can't swing from them
The stars, our landmarks
They have no function
