Twenty Paces

I say you will, you say you won't, you don't

Yes we could talk until it's dark, so what?

It's different now, walking with a crowd is everything

A better way, pleasure from the clay you're holding

Nothing to show I can't even get close

There's no empty spaces

Want you to know the game is changing now

Get ahead by twenty paces

Nothing to show I can't even get close

There's no empty spaces

Want you you to know the race is over now

Think of laughter coming after

An idle word insistent beat of thought

A bitter pill I've had my fill of talk

I cannot stop treasuring your way of thinking

Into the blue, light is coming through you're holding me

Nothing to show I can't even get close

There's no empty spaces

Want you to know the game is changing now

Get ahead by twenty paces

Nothing to show I can't even get close

There's no empty spaces

Want you you to know the race is over now

Think of laughter coming after

You're the one who's left behind

You lift your head and look around

No soul in sight you've gone too far

You shout their names into the dark

A house, a gathering of your closest friends

A loop, a video of your life's regrets

A dream, a fantasy of a sleepy town

Ten years, a reckoning coming faster now
