blink of an eye
One second near
The other far
One minute on my couch
The other in a car - (already kinda far)
One hour full of healin'
The next reopens a scar - (already really far)
One day so close
The other strange and bizarre - (really, very far)
One life full of hellos
The other only au-revoirs - (gone - too very far)
One moment, a pen and paper
Is yet all we really are...
The other far
One minute on my couch
The other in a car - (already kinda far)
One hour full of healin'
The next reopens a scar - (already really far)
One day so close
The other strange and bizarre - (really, very far)
One life full of hellos
The other only au-revoirs - (gone - too very far)
One moment, a pen and paper
Is yet all we really are...
