Funny Thing About Distance

You ask for the hardest part
Then, I get a head start because something is bound to go wrong
Repeating the past six years constantly moving uphill
You don't want to hang on

We can't keep acting out the things we've been meaning to say
And draining our hearts into letters addressed from further each day

Moving away from your fear
And pushing down what you feel, we can't keep moving along
History spins in your head, stuck in these empty beds
We can't keep sleeping alone

We can't keep acting out the things we've been meaning to say
The scars that we both caused start to freeze and fade

We still haven't hit a plateau
But we keep struggling on, keep looking up from here
Loosen all of the ties
Not necessarily a lie, "things will get better"
But they never get better

We can't keep acting out the things we've been wanting to do
The stars that hid in our sky are now harder to view
We can't keep acting out the things we've been needing to hear
All of our well-planned goals are becoming unclear
