lyrics
There won’t be a reconnection
If I never keep in touch
Even when you’re next to me
The gap’s a little much
It’s easy when we’re talking
To read the other’s face
So we mostly keep to typing
Where there’s a button just for space
In world where we get wounded
You’re the empathizing balm
In a world filled up with fists
You are the only open palm
But who the hell could blame you
For questioning your worth
When I have this awful habit
Of falling off the earth
I’m not the best at keeping up
But you can always pass your cup
The guilt I feel is ruthless
Even when I’ve done no wrong
I can’t help but imagine
What it’d be like moving on
Would you be ok with your end?
Would I be ok with mine?
I think in the end I’d realize,
I didn’t put in enough time.
I hope you disregard the distance
And keep my company in your consciousness
I keep my phone next to my bed
With a tone so loud it could wake the dead
So I won’t ever miss it if you need me at night.
I’m not the best at keeping up
But you can always pass your cup
(It isn’t over just yet
More a promise than a threat)
If I never keep in touch
Even when you’re next to me
The gap’s a little much
It’s easy when we’re talking
To read the other’s face
So we mostly keep to typing
Where there’s a button just for space
In world where we get wounded
You’re the empathizing balm
In a world filled up with fists
You are the only open palm
But who the hell could blame you
For questioning your worth
When I have this awful habit
Of falling off the earth
I’m not the best at keeping up
But you can always pass your cup
The guilt I feel is ruthless
Even when I’ve done no wrong
I can’t help but imagine
What it’d be like moving on
Would you be ok with your end?
Would I be ok with mine?
I think in the end I’d realize,
I didn’t put in enough time.
I hope you disregard the distance
And keep my company in your consciousness
I keep my phone next to my bed
With a tone so loud it could wake the dead
So I won’t ever miss it if you need me at night.
I’m not the best at keeping up
But you can always pass your cup
(It isn’t over just yet
More a promise than a threat)
