Tunnels

I've seen this happen countless times

The endless passion in your eyes is really, the only thing you should fear

But I'll go and join you anyway in climbing bales of hay with hiking gear

And then we'll climb this hill in our bare feet

And our desire to reach the top can never get us one step closer

But we'll feel like we've been there almost ten times over

And that's the thing about tunnels, you'll never reach the end

We've been here for so long, we've just settled in instead

Oh that's the thing about tunnels, you'll never reach the end

We've been here for so long, I know the names of everyone that's been and left

Like a paperclip that's envious of the stack it's got to leave behind

I knew I couldn't stay, I knew it wasn't wise

And I'm hiding all my might inside the, kitchen dances

It's just me and them and late nights that have sweet and short romances

And bus rides with old friends surprise me like a new thorn in my skin

Didn't have to sleep with my eyes open but I know that I did

And that's the thing about tunnels, you'll never reach the end

We've been here for so long, we've just settled in instead

Oh that's the thing about tunnels, you'll never reach the end

We've been here for so long, I know the names of everyone that's been and left
