Ten Minutes

Ten minutes to downtown, is ten minutes too far.
When my friends all say I'm crazy,
maybe I'm being selfish.
Maybe I'm just scared.
Don't be gone when I get home...I need you there.
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while i just fall apart.
Ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my heart is saying you're crazy.
Maybe things are getting better...
Maybe things aren't so bad.
Don't be gone when I get home...
you're all I have.
If I had to explain it,
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart.
Pockets empty,
How can you tell me that everything will work out.
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out.
Sometimes I miss you more when I'm at home.
I've been home all summer...
Now I'm leaving you alone.
Pockets empty.
How can you tell me that everything will work out...
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out
