Bigger Scars Make Better Stories

Can you see the same sky from where you are?
Do the heavens really stretch so far
From you to me and all that's left in between?

This is my nightmare
The reason I lie awake at night
But in this ghost town
We've doused all the lights

I've got this half moon
And I'll save the other half for you

So close, so close, forget it
'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me
This is how we'll ruin everything

Staring at the same stretch of highway for far too long
These winding roads, they never lead me back to the place that I belong

I count the planes as they pass overhead
The engine's warm and will serve as my bed
I slept on the hood of my car
To pretend the world was ours

So close, so close, forget it
'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me
This is how we'll ruin everything
I wish that you could see how this is killing me
If bigger scars make better stories
Then you should see the scars on me

I've got this half moon
I'll save the other half for you
And every step I take is a step I should be taking back to you
To you, to you
To you, to you

So close, so close, forget it
'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me
This is how we'll ruin everything

So close, so close, forget it
'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me
This is how we'll ruin everything
I wish that you could see how this is killing me
If bigger scars make better stories
Then you should see the scars on me

So close, so close, forget it
'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me
This is how we'll ruin everything
I wish that you could see how this is killing me
If bigger scars make better stories
Then you should see the scars on me
