lyrics

i feel like i've been standing still; inspiration left when you did. i was just a sad voyeur. when you left, you took the air. no more of this waiting game (i never was a patient man). i never should have said goodbye. i never should have said goodbye.

i'm gonna go three thousand miles at once, i'm gonna do the things i should have done. i'm gonna cross the country on a train, if you're not there than i'll walk back again. i'm gonna go three thousand miles at once, i'm gonna do the things i should have done. and if i find you, i'll never leave again. i know now the things you knew back then.

you were a beautiful wide-eyed girl, like a secret overheard. the softest note from a violin. a ghost in daylight, a gossamer thing. you don't notice the air you breathe until it's full of smoke and heat. we are all such blinded fools. we are all such blinded fools.

i'm gonna go three thousand miles at once, i'm gonna do the things i should have done. i'm gonna cross the ocean on a plane, if you're not there than i'll swim back again. i'm gonna go three thousand miles at once, i'm gonna do the things i should have done. and if i find you, i'll never leave again. i know now the things you knew back then.

you left no hint when you went away, but i'll find you all the same, if i have to search the world three times over. i've got more will than the world has, only time passes through my hands. each breath i draw it brings me closer.

each breath i draw it brings me closer.
