lyrics

I thought for sure that when I begged your forgiveness on the offering floor last year
That I was making progress
Now he and I have matching scars
While I cut my pessimism into verses and bars
That fill the notebooks in the space beneath the bed in my apartment

But that was young
And this is old
A resurrection worth of years since you caught me in your hold
But you don't care
(As many miles)
And that's just fine
(As many miles)
I let the distance cut out my wasted time
(As many miles as my brittle bones will let me crawl)
And life just drags on and on

There's a curse you cast on autumn every year and you'd think by now
That maybe I'd have broken it
I hate how you put me in your place, But I'm not you
I just can't run away
Or build this conflict in her chest and then explain
That I owe her nothing

You say it's because you're young
But now we're old
A resurrection worth of years my friend since you caught me in your hold
But you don't care
(As many miles)
And that's just fine
(As many miles)
I let the distance cut out my wasted time
(As many miles as my brittle bones will let me crawl)
And life drags me on and on
