Tune Tuesday: ‘Distance’ by Christina Perri (feat. Jason Mraz)

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Alyssa Barbieri in Music, The Infernal Devices // 5 Comments

Every Tuesday here at TMI Source is Tune Tuesday, where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices or The Dark Artifices. This week’s Tune Tuesday comes from TMI Source reader Jasmine.

I though it summed up Will and Tessa's relationship perfectly in a song.

“Distance” by Christina Perri feat. Jason Mraz

And please don't stand so close to me I'm having trouble breathing I'm afraid of what you'll see right now I give you everything I am All my broken heart beats Until I know you understand

LYRICS

“Distance” by Christina Perri feat. Jason Mraz

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And please don’t stand so close to me
I’m having trouble breathing
I’m afraid of what you’ll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have

So I’ll make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long til we call this love, love, love?

One really good song would be “My Fault” by Imagine Dragons. I simply adore them!

I love this song!

However, I always think of Revenge when I hear it, since I first saw and hear it as a Revenge music video.

I think Powerless by Linkin Park would be a good song for TMI, especially for Jace when he was under the influence of Sebastian and when he was possesed by Lilith
