[Verse 1]
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
Keep pulling me close to home
And there’s something to cushion my callous sighs

And I know that you hope for
Longer good-byes
Embracing for forever
And falling in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 2]
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’s no need to test my heart
With useless space
These roads go on forever
And there’ll always be a place for you
In my heart

[Outro]
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 you're ten
