As the Crow Flies

Six to eight miles as the crow flies
I will follow you into the nighttime this time

And I go out walking in the cold
To stop myself from getting old
And it'll start working any year now

Ooh it's been a long time since we talked it out
Ooh I am thinking that you don't remember how

I may not know much of anything
But I know not to hang out
In the feeling you get in your bed
For three straight hours

And I spent all these years tryna figure you out
And I think I finally got you down
And you know what?
It didn't even matter

Ooh it's been a long time since you looked around
Ooh and one of these days there'll be nobody in your town

And every second feels like the last one
And every moment goes on for so long
Where are you hiding?
Where are you keeping her?
Out in the darkness?
Or on the next door curb?

I sit and wonder about mosquito bites
And if they'll kill me
One of these summer nights

I know you want me but
You never speak your mind
And I shouldn't do it for you
But I do it all time

Is there a time you, you never want to leave?
Is there a memory you want to pull up your sleeves?
For every winter
You went and did me wrong
There is a summer
That came out like a song

It's been a long time since we talked it out
And I am thinking that you don't remember how

But it's six to eight miles as the crow flies
I will follow you into the nighttime
This time
