I Can't Reach You There

I know the signs I've learned to read.
The way your voice gets small and far,
Like you're already gone wherever you are.
I drive across town just to see your face,
But you won't let me in that place.
I tear the world apart with my hands,
But I'm just your brother, not the cure,
Just a man who doesn't understand how to pull you back to shore.
I can't reach you there,
