The Space Between

There were 14 blocks between her place and mine
 I walked those blocks every single day
 I started feeling with each passing sign
 That she was living too far away
 I got to her place and said, "We've been together a year
 Wouldn't it be genius if I lived, well, right here?"
 I got one of her priceless stares, but said
 "Honey, haven't you noticed there's
 All this space between
 Where I leave my house and I see your face
 All this space between
 When I buzzed your door and then we embrace"
 I must've flashed my sexy grin
 'Cause next thing you know I am moving in with her
 Yeah, this is her apartment
 And yeah, it's filled with all her stuff
 But setting up and squeezing in, that's my department
 So if I move her favorite chair, I can get my desk in there
 Slide her sofa to the right, so we won't stub our toes at night
 Merge our two apartments into one
 And we'll feel like we've begun
 Oh! So I rip the tape off this cardboard box
 And lay my claim on a dresser drawer
 I say goodbye to those 14 blocks
 Now just imagine what lies in store
 The city'd gotten me down
 But that's 'cause I should've known
 You really don't want to do New York alone
 The best thing I ever did
 Might be saying, "Screw it!" and getting rid of the
 Space between
 Me and the girl I can't get out of my head
 All the space between
 The moment we're in and what's lying ahead
 I've been waiting for something here
 But now I'm rushing toward the future, and I'm leaping clear
 Of the space between
