Dictating Directions Lyrics by Closebye

Boring the Camera

2017

[Verse 1]
Well you left town this morning
Crossing zones of time
But you might as well be right there
Stealing my stride
As we walk alone

Inches stretch for miles
So I'll just pedal in my place
In a violent space

Cause I just can't seem to help but
Cross the line
When you're standing on the other side
Stillness as I sleep
Stillness as I sleep

[Chorus]
Dictating directions, compass is a-quivering
All you want
Take me for what you want
All you want

I just want you to know that
It's something about the way
I miss something that never goes away
I miss something that never goes away

[Verse 2]
It's not that distance defines us
All the stretched highways
Should never tether you in one place
You can hold your own

As inches stretch for miles
Inches become miles

[Chorus]
Dictating direction, compass is a-quivering
All you want
Take me for what you want
All you want

I just want you to know that
It's something about the way
I miss something that never goes away
I miss something that never goes away
