I live at the end of a 5 and half minute hallway
But as far as I can see you are still miles from me
In your doorway
And oh, by the way, when the landlord came today
He measured everything
I knew he'd get it wrong, but I just played along
'Cause I was hoping that would fix it all
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
But there's only so far I can go
When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself, five more minutes and I'll be there
Inside your door
But there's more to this story than I've been letting on
There are words meaning little unwritten in this
I forgive you for leading me on
You can think of it like this, when you can't resist
I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff
And just when I think I find the trick
I'm tumbling like an echo
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
'Cause there's only so far I can go
(You've gotta believe me baby)
When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
(Gotta believe me baby)
I think to myself, thirty seconds and I'll be there
I'll be there
You never listen to me!
We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we think
It is really much more complicated
