5 & 1/2 Minute Hallway

I live at the end

Of a 5 & 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 fix 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

Five 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 find 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

Thirty seconds and I'll be there

You never listen to me

We cannot really experiment with love

As freely as we think

It is really a much more complicated topic
