[Verse 1]
What if I told you that I'm always in my grave
I'm getting sick, second guess the consequences
Do you notice I'm hurt by the bait of a catch-22
I'm waiting through the water, I'm waiting for you

[Chorus]
So, darling, take your pick, either we sink or swim
I just need an early sign if we're moving on
'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
But, baby, you hold a mile of me

[Verse 2]
Configured it foolproof is your mighty plan
To fall in love without getting attached
You can't think that you will escape when it's convenient
Feeding me to the giants, yeah

[Chorus]
If your heart is fine in the absence of mine
Tell me as nicely as you can, I'm a little less emphatic
'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
But, baby, you hold a mile of me

[Bridge]
A mile of me is a mile forever gone
A mile of me is a mile that won't belong
Anywhere, anymore
Why does it always hurt so hard to love?
Love hurts
Love hurts

[Chorus]
'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
That's all you gave me
Maybe I've only ever got an inch of you
But, baby, you hold
