04 17 MILES
There’s no way
I’m afraid
Despite my efforts to replace
No one in your shoes could take up that much space
And by the way
I’m okay
I know you didn’t ask but
I’ve been getting better every single day
I’m gonna run like 17 miles today
Just to see how my knees
And my new shoes take it
I could make it to the top
Of the island I could get
On the boat and take it back
I could walk to metropolitan
And pick up where we left it
I could watch it fade to black
With a note in my pocket
To remind me where I’m at
I could trip on something
That I got from you
Before you left
I could weep in the grass
I could try to forget
I could weep or forget
Guess I’m sleeping here instead
Guess I’m living in my head
How could we both forget
There’s no way
If you stay
Despite your spirit and your flame
No one in your shoes could make it all the way
And I’m surprised
But I’ll be kind
I never meant to compromise
I just wanted to know what that’s like
It’s like-
I’m gonna run like 17 miles today
Just to see how my knees
And my new shoes take it
I could make it to the top
Of the island I could get
On the boat and take it back
I could walk to where I kissed you
In the trees in the park
I should bury what I’m feeling
In the dirt keep it dark
I could sing it to some people
That don’t know who you are
Just as long as I remember
I don’t want to forget
I don’t want to forget
I could weep or forget
Guess I’m sleeping here instead
Guess you’re living in my head
How could we both forget
