5&1/2 Minute Hallway

I live at the end of a five-and-a-half-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've been letting on

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

(You've got to believe me, baby)

When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing

(You've got to believe me, baby)

I think to myself (to myself)

"30 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)
