I'm always assuming the worst
But you're going on nonetheless
And there's nothing to cushion your heart-led fall
Letters from further away
Pulling me close to home
And there's something to soften my callous sighs
And I know that you hope for
Longer good-byes
Embracing for forever
And falling in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Pouring over photographs
I'm living in your letters
Breathe deeply from this envelope
It smells like you and I can't be
Without that scent
It's filling me with all you mean to me
To me

Continually failing these trials
But you stand by me nonetheless
And you won't 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
There is no need to test my heart
With useless space
These roads go on forever
There will always be a place, for you
In my heart

So I'll hit the pavement it's gotta be better than waiting
And pushing you far away
Cause I'm scared
And I'll take my chances
And head on my way up there

'Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten
