I live at the end of a five-and-a-half-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 fix 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 "Five more minutes and I'll be there" Inside your door But there's more to this story Than I've been letting on 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 find the trick I'm tumbling, like an echo 'Cause there's only so far I can go (You've got to believe me, baby) When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing (You've got to believe me, baby) I think to myself (to myself) "30 seconds and I'll be there" ♪ (You never listen to me!) (We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we think) (It is really a much more complicated topic)
