Funny Thing About Distance

You ask for the hardest part
 Then, I get a head start because something is bound to go wrong
 Repeating the past six years constantly moving uphill
 You don't want to hang on
 We can't keep acting out the things we've been meaning to say
 And draining our hearts into letters addressed from further each day
 Moving away from your fear
 And pushing down what you feel, we can't keep moving along
 History spins in your head, stuck in these empty beds
 We can't keep sleeping alone
 We can't keep acting out the things we've been meaning to say
 The scars that we both caused start to freeze and fade
 We still haven't hit a plateau
 But we keep struggling on, keep looking up from here
 Loosen all of the ties
 Not necessarily a lie, "things will get better"
 But they never get better
 We can't keep acting out the things we've been wanting to do
 The stars that hid in our sky are now harder to view
 We can't keep acting out the things we've been needing to hear
 All of our well-planned goals are becoming unclear
