LYRICS
I’m always assuming the worst
But keep going on none the less
And there’s nothing to cushion your heart led fall
Letters from further away
Keep pulling me close to home
And there’s something to cushion my callous eyes
And I know that you hope for longer goodbyes
Embracing for forever
And falling in your eyes
In your eyes
Your eyes
Pouring over photographs
I’m living in your letters
Breathe deeply from this envelope
It smells like you and I cant be
Without that scent, its filling me
With all you mean to me, to me
Continually failing these trials
But you stand by me none the less
And you wont let me sink though I’m begging you
I’m begging you
Phone calls from further away
And messages on my machine
But I don’t ever tell you
This distance seems terrible
And there’s no need to test my heart
With useless fears
These roads go on forever
There’ll always be a place
For you, my heart
So I’ll hit the pavement
It’s got to be better than waiting
And pushing you far away cause I’m scared
So I’ll take my chances and head on my way up there
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when your ten
