4,000 Miles Ago
The last 4,000 miles I’ve been staring
out a dirty window and I’m not gazing back.
Looking at the now but I kind of can’t help
thinking about the past.
Too easy to recall
all the time and feeling wasted
the endless salty tears I’ve tasted
makes me feel so weary now.
I’m making new moves with my life,
babe I’m so determined
to bury my yester-you somehow.
So if I’m not over you when I come ‘round this bend
Maybe my love’s not meant to truly come to an end.
Try my best to forget all my regrets
and nights of selflessly loving you.
Always my anchor to this world
until you started weighing me down
that’s when I decided to skip town
4,000 miles ago.
If I’m still in love when I make it to Muskoka
I’ll find a thousand lakes
where I can drown my memories
wash away the stains
and these damn prolonged aches.
I’m gonna give myself up in the rain.
Somewhere on this road
I’ll find the right turn,
I’ve been looking for since I left.
I need to distance myself from this
from you
and all the pain I’ve kept.
My romanticized soul pierced by your incisors
what a lovely pair we made indeed.
I walk forth with the knowledge
my skin will never feel the same
because you’re always going to be beneath.
You’re a shadow that will haunt my soul
the first true love that never really goes away
But I had to skip town my baby,
because you left nothing more to save.
