POE - 5 And 1/2 Minute Hallway lyrics

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
