john floreani - a distance lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve held my breath
for twenty f-cking years
and hesitation brought me here
it makes it harder to believe
that i’ll see you again
i’m so scared of growing up
i still act like i’m fifteen years old
too early to give up
but too old to come home
i found myself at a distance
empty highways and freezing train carriages
i never thought i’d see myself like this
starving to death in this f-cking city apartment

well, i’m twenty-one
and so alone

[hook 1]
well, this distance it gave me an option
in the form of a shiny red apple
in it’s dark red skin
i saw my reflection
but i couldn’t take it
i sunk my t–th in

[verse 2]
i watch your tail lights fade over this stale town
your arm still waving from your windows
i can barely make it out
barely make it out
it’ll be a cold and quiet month
to spend alone in my head
but when you finally return
we’ll be stronger for this
stronger for this

[hook 2]
i keep a tiny coloured print of you and i
the one that we took
at our friends engagement
sometimes i catch myself swimming in your smile
and the crease over your eyes
if i try
i remember what they look like

i keep a tiny coloured print of you and i
folded and creased like a bill
in the paper compartment of my wallet
a worthy home
for something that comes and goes

[verse 3]
oh, i now know why i’ve never felt at home
i’m happy and healthy in my head
but i’ve never felt so alone
i spend my days counting the lines along the road
they disappear right under me
like all the places that i’ve been
just thinking of you
