Distance

I could've sworn it wasn't always like this

Or something must have shifted in my sleep

A dream told me to let go of my vices

And when I woke up

I was gnawing on my teeth

It's funny how the little things will bite you

Like the animal that hides under my bed

And how I'm so afraid of dying

And I hope I wasn't lying when I said

That I think I might be leaning into something optimistic

For once, I'm finally winning, but I'm terrified admitting

That nothing lasts forever, and I know how bad I'll miss this

I know that day is coming

I see it in the distance

I see it in the distance

The moment I see clearly through the water

I drown in all the questions in my head

Like how can I move on, if I'm waiting for a sign to tell me when?

When I think I might be leaning into something optimistic

For once, I'm finally winning, but I'm terrified admitting

That nothing lasts forever, and I know how bad I'll miss this

I know that day is coming

I see it in the distance

I see it in the distance

Oh, how much longer will it take

For all the good things to go away?

Just when I think I'm leaning into something optimistic

That existential reeling comes right on back to kill it

So I'll savor the moment, 'cause I know how bad I'll miss it

I know that day is coming

I see it in the distance

I see it in the distance
