Mind the Gap

Can't afford the time It's still feeling borrowed I'm in a perpetual state of longing To be in motion I've been this way since you left Burning up at both my ends Again My existential dread Of staying home I had no plans But I feel there's something I'm missing out on Cause if I slow down And don't keep swimming I think I'll drown So don't stop me now My mind's a mile a minute You left space nothing to fill it and I I, I can change the way I'm living Ask how I've been Just say I'm busy It's not a lie Cause if I keep on my toes I barely notice you're gone (Between the bus and the late train No time for the feeling to creep in) And if I keep up appearance Don't mind the gap I've been left with (Then no one will notice Different city, my house isn't home yet) Cause if I keep on my toes I barely notice you're gone (Between the bus and the late train No time for the feeling to creep in) And if I keep up appearance Don't mind the gap I've been left with (Then no one will notice Different city, my house isn't home yet) You know sitting still's gonna make me restless One place for too long Is bound to make me anxious But my self worth is unstable And I'm built on fragile terms I'm relying on the kindness Of strangers passing words When they don't know who I am They don't know what I've done That I'm chasing up something But it's me I can't outrun Oh, oh oh, oh My mind's a mile a minute You left space nothing to fill it and I I, I can change the way I'm living Ask how I've been Just say I'm busy It's not a lie Oh Cause if I keep on my toes I barely notice you're gone (Between the bus and the late train No time for the feeling to creep in) And if I keep up appearance Don't mind the gap I've been left with (Then no one will notice Different city, my house isn't home yet) When you left This is how I adapted So don't tell me That I don't know the difference Between being fine and being distracted Mind the gap on your exit
