I'm always assuming the worst,
but you're going on nonetheless
and there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home.
And there's something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes.
(In your eyes, your eyes)
Pouring over photographs.
I'm living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you and I can't be
without that scent. It's filling me
with all you mean to me.
(To me)
Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me nonetheless
and you won't let me sink
though I'm beggin you, I'm begging you
Phone calls from further away
and messages on my machine,
but I don't ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever,
there will always be a place, for you.. in my heart
So I'll hit the pavement
it's gotta be better than waiting
and pushing you far away
cause I'm scared.
So I'll take my chances
and head on my way up there.
'Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten.

There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever
there'll always be a place,
for you, in my heart.

D5
So I'll hit the pavement
Dsus4 D5* Dsus4-D
it's gotta be better than waiting
and pushing you far away
cause I'm scared.
So I'll take my chances
and head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten

I'm always assuming the worst,
G
but you're going on nonetheless
D A7
and there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall.
D A7
Letters from further away
G
keep pulling me close to home.
D A7
And there's something to cushion my callous sighs.
D A7
And I know that you hope for
G
longer good-byes
A7
embracing for forever
A7 D
and falling in your eyes.
