Ten minutes to downtown Is ten minutes too far? When my friends all say I'm crazy Maybe I'm being selfish Maybe I'm just scared Don't be gone when I get home, I need you there If I had to explain it I wouldn't know where to start It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart Ten minutes to downtown Is ten minutes too far? When my heart is saying you're crazy Maybe things are getting better Maybe things aren't so bad Don't be gone when I get home, you're all I have If I had to explain it I wouldn't know where to start It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart Pockets empty How can you tell me that everything will work out? A pointless fight When you're always right and everything will work out It works out Sometimes I miss you more Whenever I'm at home I've been home all summer Now I'm leaving you alone Pockets empty How can you tell me that everything will work out? A pointless fight When you're always right and everything will work out Everything will work out Everything will work out
