Always assuming the worst
But you going on
Nonetheless
And theres nothing to
Cushion your heart
Let fall

Letters from further away
Keep pulling me closer
To home
When there's something to
Cushion my callous eyes

And I know that you hope for
Long, good, good-byes
And bracing for forever
Falling in your eyes
In your eyes
Your eyes

Pouring over photographs
I'm living in your letters
Breath 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's no need
To test my heart
With useless space
These roads go on forever
There'll always be a place
For you in my heart

So I hit the pavement
It's got to be better
Than waiting
And pushing you far away
Cuz I'm scared
So I'll take my chances
And head on my way on up there
Cuz Eternity to you
Is like falling in love
When you're down
