Broken up, on a road that felt like freedom A rebel, headed anywhere but home Atoms fall, repeated in a moment A captive at the edge of Eden's door In the company of the angels Reaching from a beautiful world You couldn't wait it But you couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance You wouldn't bear the silence anymore Love broke the fall, reached across to reach us But you opened heaven's door Cause you couldn't stand the distance Close enough, to see the love I needed A seeker, looking for the way back home Underneath, the weight of what I wasted While mercy, stood looking down the road Then you ran to where I was waiting And your love crossed the canyon between us You came to save me Cause you couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance You wouldn't bear the silence anymore Love broke the fall, reached across to reach us Then you opened heaven's door So close to your mercy and so far away You ran to me, you ran to me Forgive me, embrace me, call me by name Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah You wouldn't bear the silence anymore Love broke the fall, reached across to reach us Then you opened heaven's door You couldn't stand, couldn't stand the distance You wouldn't bear the silence anymore Love broke the fall, reached across to reach us Then you opened heaven's door Cause you couldn't stand the distance You couldn't stand the distance You couldn't stand the distance
