Bigger Scars Make Better Stories

Can you see the same sky from where you are? Do the heavens really stretch so far From you to me and all that's left in between? This is my nightmare The reason I lie awake at night But in this ghost town We've doused all the lights I've got this half moon And I'll save the other half for you So close, so close, forget it 'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me This is how we'll ruin everything Staring at the same stretch of highway for far too long These winding roads, they never lead me back to the place that I belong I count the planes as they pass overhead The engine's warm and will serve as my bed I slept on the hood of my car To pretend the world was ours So close, so close, forget it 'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me This is how we'll ruin everything I wish that you could see how this is killing me If bigger scars make better stories Then you should see the scars on me I've got this half moon I'll save the other half for you And every step I take is a step I should be taking back to you To you, to you To you, to you So close, so close, forget it 'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me This is how we'll ruin everything So close, so close, forget it 'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me This is how we'll ruin everything I wish that you could see how this is killing me If bigger scars make better stories Then you should see the scars on me So close, so close, forget it 'Cause close doesn't count when you're counting on me This is how we'll ruin everything I wish that you could see how this is killing me If bigger scars make better stories Then you should see the scars on me
