Distance - Curbside

Stayed up all night listening to hair metal

And things that

I found in my old room in my hometown

Wish I was

Not coming back here just to put away

Buried remains of

Why does it have to come to this to pull

And drag me out from

My rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality

That I’ve spent so many years in with these hands tied down

But not too tight to call home

I always thought I would leave

I never thought that I’d see

This fall so out out of line

And now that we have lost

Another too close to us

Does this distance seem worth it

At all today

Cause I don’t wear these scars as well as she would say

So all that’s left for me is all that I had ever earned

But I’m hoping there’s time to change it all

I think that I can make it anyway

Now I’m stuck breathing only dark stale air

And things that

I left in this new place in this downtown

Wish I was

Not coming back here just to put away

Buried remains of

Why does it have to come to this to pull

And drag me out from

My rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality

That I’ve spent so many years in with these hands tied down

But not too tight to call home

I always thought I would leave

I never thought that I’d see

This fall so out of line

And now that we have lost

Another too close to us

Does this distance seem worth it

At all today

Cause I don’t wear these scars as well as she would say

So all that’s us for me is all that I had ever earned

But I’m hoping there’s time to change

Cause I think that I can make it anyway

Before it is too late

To figure out what I have known all along

If i spend my life running away i’ll never break from my

Rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality

That I’ve spent so many years in with these hands tied down

But not too tight to call home

I always thought I would leave

I never thought that I’d see

This fall so out out of line

And now that we have lost

Another too close to us

Does this distance seem worth it

At all today

Cause I don’t wear these scars as well as she would say

And that’s all that’s left for me is all that I had

Ever earned, so please don’t

Waste this turn, with me

I deserve every inch of this
