Poe - 5 and 12 Minute hallway LYRICS

I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway

But as far as I can see you are still miles from me

In your doorway



And oh by the way

When the landlord came today

He measured everything

I knew he'd get it wrong

But I just played along

'Cause I was hoping that would solve it all



But there's only so far I can go

When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing

I think to myself

5 more minutes and I'll be there



Inside your door

But there's more to this story

Than I have exposed

There are words made of letters

Unwritten

And yes I forgive you

For leading me on



You can think of it like this

When you can't resist

I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff

And just when I think I've found the trick

I'm tumbling

Like an echo



'Cause there's only so far I can go

When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing

I think to myself

30 seconds and I'll be there



Daughter:

You never listen to me



Father:

We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish

It is really a much more complicated topic
