Distance From There To Now

Lately, I'm runnin low on a lot of things

It's like I bypassed a better thing

And no matter how much I write and sing

This is a one way street

So here's a new day

Understanding, walking with me in my shoes

Don't know if I'll ever find that

Disappointment's like a drug I can't stop taking

And you cry

Please come back to me

You don't need to run

Please don't run

You can wake up new, just wait and see

You know my pen is drying out, my voice is done

Every day is a new day you still say

I can choose redemption

And ignore the pull on me

That's driving me down

I slept past today

Maybe cause I need to jolt this feeling

It's as if I can start now

And stop searching in the mud

So logic's taken holiday today

Fairer day than than would be today

Far cry from here

And you cry

Please come back to me

Don't run

Please don't run

You can wake up new, you'll see

My pen is dry, my voice is gone

I smile, cause it's kind of nice

That you're the only one

As I've closed my ears and run

You meet me each morning

With the rising golden sun

And these three years have been tough

You know more than anyone

Especially these last six months

You pull up my eyes

Not all is lost,

I've failed enough,

Trying on my own

Come back to me

Don't run

Oh please don't run

You wake up new

Pen is dry, voice slowly begun

Distance from there to now

Story stops suddenly

So sad so I say something

But funny thing about that is

Sadness can bring greater things

Once it is done

Wake up new

Write this down

Not all is lost, let me be

The last thing you hear

As you open your eyes
