Distance Calls

The closer I am to home The further I want to go When I'm swallowed by this room I feel foreign to the world Souvenirs collecting dust As they stare in empty faces A bitter thought of a better day Is a nostalgic gift that I can't keep The morning breeze kisses my skin Gentle reminder of where I could've been Caught in the routine day in day out I hear my name as the distance calls The closer I am to home The further I want to go When I'm swallowed by this room I feel foreign to the world The nightly sunset waves me goodbye Silently vanishes beyond the blurred skyline Trapped in the flow, for years to come I hear my name as the distance calls The closer I am to home The further I want to go When I'm swallowed by this room I feel foreign to the world I hear my name as the distance calls
