Inches Away

(album: The American - 2019)

All at once everybody knows
Maybe it's the time apart that goes by quickly
The feelings change and I hold 'em all inside
So, we'll both get older then
And we won't know each other's lives
But both will change at separate times

But what if I can't handle this, moving on without you?
What if I would rather be inches away?
What if while we lengthen this distance between us
You suddenly forget about me
So I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away

Ooh you know I need you lover
You know I want more than what we had
But I can't change the past
Nobody can, nobody can
And I'm writing on a bottle of wine
Tryna find myself between the rhymes

But what if I can't handle this, moving on without you?
What if I would rather be inches away?
What if while we lengthen this distance between us
You suddenly forget about me
So I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away

The picture is fading, I'm losing you now
But love I'll work harder to preserve it
Inch by inch by inch yeah we'll shorten our line
But no space could lengthen our time, time, time
But no space could lengthen our time, time, time
But no space could lengthen our time

But what if I can't handle this, moving on without you?
What if I would rather sleep inches away?
What if while we lengthen this distance between us
You suddenly forget about me
So I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away
I'd rather be inches away

Even just to see your skin up close
Every pore
