seems we couldn't ache hard enough.
just one more time now and i'll kiss it all away.
saving up promises one by one
and this will never reach me
until i'm sober again.
smoke filled and consuming
more than i should.
and wondering what exactly i would
change if i could.
light-speed, darling though you could
never touch this.
it's all a matter of indecisiveness
and i should
be so lucky.
running never got me anywhere
but it's taking you further.
and i had hoped for something to
fall in my lap,
a reminder to bring me home again.
but your plane took off with little
resistance and you won't reach me
until i'm sober again.
