Five Feet Apart - Brian Tyler

They say distance is relative And relative to relatives, I have I'd say I'm relatively close To breaking down Because right now I feel so alone I've been missing the elements And wishing the elephant in the room Would leave and kindly close the door I can't ignore Him like before Not anymore Oh, I miss you most at six feet apart When you're right outside my window But can't ride inside my car And it hurts to know just how lovely you are And be too far away to hold, but close enough to break my heart I miss your smile Feels like miles Six feet apart So far So far, but so close Like a star Out in the cosmos Can't touch The beauty I see That's how, it feels at six feet Space and time are interwoven Well, at least that's what we're told When I was young, I was suspicious, but it's true Time sticks like glue I feel so blue Here missing you So I think I'll build a time machine and go back to a time When we didn't need to measure six feet on the ground When I came around That's not allowed I can't go back now So I miss you most at six feet apart When you're right outside my window But can't ride inside my car And it hurts to know just how lovely you are And be too far away to hold, but close enough to break my heart I miss your smile Feels like miles Six feet apart So far So far, but so close Like a star Out in the cosmos Can't touch The beauty I see That's how, it all feels to me So far So far, but so close Like a star Out in the cosmos Can't touch The beauty I see That's how it feels at six feet

In a small corner bar he sits there a'drinkin' Lost as a ball in a field full of corn Further away than he ever imagined That he'd ever end up from the place he was born Now no more forlorn has a Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you see out the side of your eye Drinkin' alone as he looks out the window At all of the strangers on the corner outside And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Now they knew not his name and he knew not their faces And he knew not the how nor the reason for why You could ever wake up and wanna keep on a'livin' In a place where a friend was such a hard thing to find And for e'ryone ya meet there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like hell to pull you on down To the level they're on and the trouble they're tendin' In the mess that they've made in the gutter they found And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Some fellas do drugs and things of that nature Some fellas chase girls to hang on their arm Some fellas get by on practically nothin' Some fellas get pissed in a small corner bar And they'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When they were all kids, Lord they'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down
