lyrics

I'm sick of waiting on subway trains
to take me back to see you
collectively the tokens in my pocket,
they could get me there
they just don't take me on the trip that you do

You're not so far away but still
it's breaking down my will
and I cannot move on anyone
I've lost my esprit de corps
but still the story moves on

These feet beneath me could walk for miles
and when they get to you
their souls will be smiling
if I should use the last of my breath
to come to you before my death, my dear
my soul will be smiling

You're not so far away but still
it's breaking down my will
and I've lost my self esteem
or was that just a dream I had
with your schemes and plans involved

I'm calling out to this broken hearted man
who has lost his sense of direction
no matter what Great Unknown I've traveled
I'll find my way back home
'cause to me, your voice
is the sweetest perfection

You're not so far away but still
it's breaking down my will to live...

And it's come to my attention
there's an imminent correction to be made
you don't love me like I thought you did
so I'll pray to God in heaven
and I'll try to be at my best
and soon the angels will lift me up

'cause I'm sick of letting this pretty girl
take my heart for a spin
just like money luck and fame
it seems that love is just a game
and it's a game I'll never win
