5 and 1/2 Minute Hallway - Poe

I live at the end of a 5 and ½ minute hallway

But as far as I can see you are still miles from me

In your doorway

And oh by the way

When the landlord came today

He measured everything

I knew he’d get it wrong

But I just played along

'Cause I was hoping that would fix it all

But there’s only so far I can go

When you’re living in a hallway that keeps growing

I think to myself

5 more minutes and I’ll be there

Inside your door

But there’s more to this story

Than I’ve been letting on

There are words made of letters

Unwritten

And yes I forgive you

For leading me on

You can think of it like this

When you can’t resist

I’m in your hallway standing on a cliff

And just when I think I’ve found the trick

I’m tumbling

Like an echo

'Cause there’s only so far I can go

(you've got to believe me baby…)

When you’re living in a hallway that keeps growing

(you've got to believe me baby…)

I think to myself

(to myself…)

30 seconds and I’ll be there

Daughter:

You never listen to me

Father:

We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish

It is really a much more complicated topic
