lyrics

You know the distance kills
When it’s not so simple
As a five minute drive
To clear the thoughts on my mind

I’ll hold onto these stills
In my memories passing
And I still saw the end
Still let it happen again

And I told myself
We would never get in this far
I told myself
It would never be this hard

I want you to stay
Just one more night
I want you to stay
Into the morning light

And I feel the separation starting
Tell ourselves it’s not alarming
Questioning our thoughts required
Protocol is undeciphered

Can we go back one more time again?

I brace myself
To call it again
By something else

I brace myself
Where it goes
Only time will tell

We left it alone
Just like we said
We’d savor the unknown

Contemplating
On the drive home
Second guessing words
That felt so certain
Weeks ago

I brace myself
To call it again
By something else

I brace myself
Where it goes
Only time will tell

Can we wind it back?
Listen to ourselves
Disregard the casting call
We played the part
But through it all

By our own hand
We framed the scene

I brace myself
To call it again
By something else

I brace myself
To call it again
By something else

I brace myself
Where it goes
Only time will tell

And time has told

We left it alone
This time
And carried on
Apart
