Distance

(album: Knots - 2018)

I'm done with all the distance
I don't have any intentions
With God as my witness, I
Honestly wish that I
Could maybe try from normalcy
Reach for how we used to be
Before tides started turning rough
Before I went and messed it up
I'm sorry

It's been a while since
We say goodbye since
I let you go
With a feeling you
Might come back

It's been a while since
We say goodbye since
We parted ways
Wondering where it was
We lost track

Do I try to forget all
The damage it's done
Do I try to forget it all?
Am I less than I should
If I said I haven't done
Everything to get it off my chest
I haven't put it to rest
Would you have guessed
When you left
When you left me at my best
Now I'm stuck where you left me
At the could've beens
How could you leave me
At the could've beens
And now you're here again
Asking if we be friends
No, no we can't be friends

I'm done with all the distance
I don't have any intentions
With God as my witness, I
Honestly wish that I
Could maybe try from normalcy
(Time and time and time again)
Reach for how we used to be
(Found myself keeping it in)
Before tides started turning rough
(Here and there and back again)
Before I went and messed it up
(Found myself regretting it)
I'm sorry

And I don't wanna hold on
Then back up
Forward, backward
Then close up
Pretend you're still here
Then break up
No I can't be friends with you
No I can't be friends with you
No I can't be friends with you
No oh

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe (sorry we can't)
Turn our back on the past, yeah

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe be friends?
(Sorry we can't be friends)

Can we maybe (sorry we can't)
Turn our back on the past, yeah
