5 and 1/2 MINUTE HALLWAY

I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway
but as far as I can see you are still miles from me
in your doorway

and oh by the way
when the landlord came today
he measured everything
I knew he'd get it wrong
but I just played along
'cause I was hoping that would solve it all

but there's only so far I can go
when you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself
5 more minutes and I'll be there

inside your door
but there's more to this story
than I have exposed
there are words made of letters
unwritten
and yes I forgive you
for leading me on

you can think of it like this
when you can't resist
I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff
and just when I think I've found the trick
I'm tumbling
like an echo

'cause there's only so far I can go
when you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself
30 seconds and I'll be there

daughter: you never listen to me

father: we cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish--it is really a
much more complicated topic
