Ten Feet

She only comes around when nothing is left
And just my bad parts remain
Scavenge pieces, you're running out of room to leave
We've got a tiny refrain

I'm not gonna lie to you, but I'm ten feet from the sun
I don't mean to bother you but I'm burning, baby
I didn't think I'd make it free and clearly
Hope it springs eternally, but you're still out of reach

It's a thin veneer and I'm starting to crack
But would you recognize?
From sheltered to shattered
In one fell swoop it all goes wrong
Long for the song you despise

I'm not gonna lie to you, but I'm ten feet from the sun
I don't mean to bother you but I'm burning, maybe
I didn't think I'd make it free and clearly
Hope it springs eternally, but you're still out of reach
And always on my mind

Painted face, getting in the way of the choices I make
They're starved for some attention
Sink or swimming, saint or sinning

She only comes around when nothing is left
And just my sad parts remain
Scavenge pieces, I'm learning how to block and breathe
Ashes to iron, it goes on and on and on and on

I'm not gonna lie to you, but I'm ten feet from the sun
I don't mean to bother you but I'm burning, baby
I didn't think I'd make it free and clearly
Hope it springs eternally, but you're still out of reach
