I had to make an excuse to stay
And talk to you while everyone was emptying the place
And I had to fake like I had just had one too few

And needed a reason to avoid a lonely hotel room

Then you said don't stay on account of me

We both know it would be a mistake

You're too far away


I've given thought to this before
You're not the first

And I guess a part of me was waiting for it to get worse
But I'll hang in there some more
But not too long

And honestly I don't know which possibility makes me strong

And if there are so many reasons not to $#&@ things up back home

Then someone tell me why I feel alone

You're too far away


And you drove for hours
Tossing your roaches in the dash

And I wrote you a message
That I never meant
To send


There are things that I can't change
Because they're all I understand


You're too far away
