From here to the wall 

An expression meaning a large amount of something.
Derived from Trump's idea of a wall on the southern border of the US with Mexico, as someone's current location in relation to said wall would be a large distance.

From Here to Eternity 

From here to eternity - that's where she takes me
From here to eternity - with love, with love, with love
Baby - baby - baby gives me loving
Leaves me meaning nothing, nothing left to mean
Baby - baby - baby's got me sighing
Nearly has me dying, dying off to me
From here to eternity
That's where she takes me
From here to eternity
She does, she does, she does, she does
From here to eternity
That's where she leads me
From here to eternity
With love, with love, with love, with love

you can't get there from here 

A phrase that is stereotypically attributed to people from Maine, usually by people in the lower New England states to feel superior to our Northern neighbors (like we don't talk funny enough). It has to be said with a northern Maine accent: "there" is pronounced "they-ahh" and "here" is pronounced "hee-yahhhh." The "you" is implied and does not need to be said.
Well you can't get there from here.

I can see my house from here 

A hyperbolic joke made by people who are rather high up in the air, but not high (or close) enough to actually see their houses.
