The Distance Lyrics by Wallflower

Teach Yourself To Swim

2020

I'd keep you close to my head, but my heart hates the distance
Found the road but there's something in the way
You made your home in our bed, 'cause you can't face existence
Things will soon get much better so they say

I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home

When your strength finds its end, hope you find your persistence
The greatest things were never built in a day

I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home
(We were never happy here, could we wait another long year?)
I'm not home

If we break when we bend, could we ease our resistance?
So tired of always speaking in clichés

I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home
(We were never happy here, could we wait another long year?)
I'm not home

It's your mind, it's your health
Please be kind to yourself

Comfort's an illusion you can't fake
Staying here would be a mistake
I can't be the one to change your ways
Only you can let yourself be saved

I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home
(We were never happy here, could we wait another long year?)
I'm not home

I'm not home
I'm not home
I'm not home
(We were never happy here, could we wait another long year?)
I'm not home
