A Stone's Throw

I used to keep my promises

I'd play it all close to the vest

You'd never see me crack

I used to be so self assured

I'd crack a joke, I'd save a word

I used to be so tall

After all of the late nights,

And the quiet drives

And the posters on your wall

I'll keep everything secret

You can trust that

I won't forget it all

Because I was your hero

And you'll miss me

You can use all that I said to you against me

And I'll be a stone's throw

I used to keep my spirits high

I'd never need a reason why you never came to call

But now I'm Parker on the glass

I'm praying that this too shall pass

I'll whether it alone

See me in the limelights

And the barfights

And the mirrors on your wall

We could get better

You should know that

I won't forget it all

Because I was your old home

And your villain

You can explain it all away to our friends and

I'll be a stone's throw

She's lying in the bed

Glad to be alone

And the wringing round her neck

Is the ringing on her phone

And she wait's for it to pass

Pretends to be asleep

It's the closest thing she's got to being far away from me

Because I'll be your hero if you miss me

I'll forgive you for the things you held against me

I'll be a stone's throw
