Miles

(Album: While You Were Sleeping - 2016)

What if I told you I'm always in my grave
I'm getting sick, second guess the consequences
Do you notice I'm hurt by the bait of a catch-22
I'm waiting through the water, I'm waiting for you

So, darling, take your pick, either we sink or swim
I just need an early sign if we're moving on
'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
But, baby, you hold a mile of me

Configured it foolproof is your mighty plan
To fall in love without getting attached
You can't think that you will escape when it's convenient
Feeding me to the giants, yeah

If your heart is fine in the absence of mine
Tell me as nicely as you can, I'm a little less emphatic
'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
But, baby, you hold a mile of me

A mile of me is a mile forever gone
A mile of me is a mile that won't belong
Anywhere, anymore
Why does it always hurt so hard to love?
Love hurts
Love hurts

'Cause maybe I've only ever gotten an inch of you
That's all you gave me
Maybe I've only ever got an inch of you
But, baby, you hold
