The proximity of death (blue eyed boy)

There's only 6 miles of bad road between you and I
Only 6 miles of Bad Road and blue sky
If he gets there fast, you won't feel his breath
You won't catch his eye
But I count the time and I watch the days
Till he makes you fly

There's only 3 feet of shallow water between you and I
So it isn't deep – but its just enough to make sure that I
O if you swam to the edge of things
Where the earth meets the sky
He will meet you there in the setting sun
With his empty eyes

It's a short, sharp drop, past 3 flights of stairs between you and I
So it isn't far, but you'd get there fast cos you're so fragile
Will he see me smile, as you taste his tongue?
As you vanish by
You will feel his hands, and they're cold like bone
But they're gone with time

How do you like your blue eyed boy?
