Distance is a devil

Distance is a devil, paved with ash and beat up promises That pours too frequently from tears to misguided melodies and minors I remember all those nights at the foot of my bed Strumming those chords and you sang so sweet, Line after line, word after word Honey it’s like living on the breeze and it carried me Right into the back seat, oh how we’d scream our favorite words After all they understood us, as if like books and they read us Line after line, word for word Now I don’t know where I am, somewhere stuck in-between So I put your record on and as it spins and your voice spills out You know I do too, I just get more confused I thought you were singing those for me, little promises for me to believe And now they’re all for the breeze Line after line, word after word
