And he travelled (Repeated) And he travelled far (Repeated) I can feel the distance (Repeated)
[Verse 1:] The streets kept coming and coming and coming? through his tracks And every scene he spied was all the same He kept running and running and running and never looked back He never realised how far he came And it didn't matter that the latter part hadn't bothered him Rather all the sadness that followed him as if it was a ball and chain It was a long await, his posture had changed fraught with his fault and his anger Until he wouldn't respond when they called his name It was all part of the game, it started as a play to get ends It left him with the breath of debt and less friends And yet he never questioned where the quest went And when dissenters didn't deem him special He did his best to impress them and this led to regrets then Still he was dead-set on success and distress He only expressed through a sent text Addressed to anyone he hadn't met yet The tires peeled on desire's wheels Again he said, "I can feel."
[Chorus:] The distance
[Verse 2:] The city had changed him as he reflected on the decade that passed His life, he reckoned at last, was a staged pun With a fantasy masked where the grave was dug A double life revamped and the other side bites till it tastes blood So he drives to escape driving a stake through his great love Incessantly trying to shine through the bars like a caged sun Dissecting a piece of the strange run With the dirty southern niggers working for crumbs In some underground dank club Where there's nothing but strained hugs from mother and father And a strange son cause he can't recall when he became one Though the shame is heavy and weighs tons He still finds a way to place blame on what they've done Visits they've stayed away from And perhaps it was that all along so he just carries on And he can barely call because the talks are rarely calm He wears his calluses like a tux to a daily prom Wearily feeling forever young until they play the song And his patient wife waits gracefully while he breaks the dawn Racing across the States to raise the stakes and cost to pay it off Debating cons of procreation on the hopes to trade it off A basic honest home relations, how'd they know it would take this long? But he placed his honour in the way he crawled All that means is he hits the floor harder from farther up in case he falls He's racing towards the exit so disconnected He felt compelled to misdirect his perspective I can feel
[Chorus]
And the more that I stand still The closer I get still
