Dylan Thomas Gavin - Distance to Empty

I found a drawer of old shirts that I left behind
When I moved into your house sometime last July
Funny how the time passes when you're on fire
and how the fabric thins between your truth and your lies
I took one good look but I stepped away
The mirror wasn't large enough to hold my mistakes
I'm just reflections of an echo of music that I've made
Can you hear me where you are does it hurt you if I say

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

I didn't come here superstitious but hell I've learned to be
Because just like you I'm scared of what I need
I wish I knew a place that was competition free
If John Nash could tell me something where's my clue to what it'd be?
I used to bend my mind for hours around a chord
Until my head would go numb and I'd wake up on the floor
Now there are nights I'm the one that they came to see
But do they see me at all am I an echo in the breeze

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

There's a billion different people that I will never meet
And a hundred thousand places I wish that I could see
A dozen other lovers who could tell me what I need
And not a soul in the world who could play this part for me
I'm tired of sleeping for days just to feel awake
Thinking for a year trying to fake my thoughts have changed
But now a feelings what I've got and that's what I'll chase
Until I leave this world or god takes it away

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

I want to know
When life's changing
You'll be staying close

I found a drawer of old shirts that I left behind
When I moved into your house sometime that July
I found a pair of mugs lying on their sides
We used to drink from those
