Mind the Gap

Can't afford the time

It’s still feeling borrowed

I'm in a perpetual state of longing to be in motion

I’ve been this way since you left

Burning up at both my ends

Again

My existential dread of staying home

I had no plans

But it feels there's something I'm missing out on

'Cause if I slow down and don't keep swimming

I think I’ll drown

So don’t stop me now

My mind’s a mile a minute

You left space nothing to fill it and I

I can change the way I'm living

Ask how I've been, just say I'm busy

It’s not a lie

'Cause if I keep on my toes

I barely notice you’re gone

Between the bus and the late train

No time for the feeling to creep in

And if I keep up appearance

Don’t mind the gap I’ve been left with

Then no one will notice

Different city, my house isn’t home yet

'Cause if I keep on my toes

I barely notice you’re gone

Between the bus and the late train

No time for the feeling to creep in

If I keep up appearance

Don’t mind the gap I’ve been left with

Then no one will notice

Different city, my house isn’t home yet

You know sitting still's gonna make me restless

One place for too long

Is bound to make me anxious

But my self worth is unstable

And I’m built on fragile terms

I'm relying on the kindness of strangers passing words

When they don’t know who I am

They don’t know what I’ve done

That I’m chasing up something

But it's me I can’t outrun

My mind’s a mile a minute

You left space nothing to fill it and I

I

I can change the way I'm living

Ask how I've been, just say I'm busy

It’s not a lie

Oh

'Cause if I keep on my toes

I barely notice you’re gone

Between the bus and the late train

No time for the feeling to creep in

And if I keep up appearance

Don’t mind the gap I’ve been left with

Then no one will notice

Different city, my house isn’t home yet

When you left

This is how I adapted

So don't tell me that I don't know the difference

Between being fine and being distracted

Mind the gap on your exit
