5&1/2 Minute Hallway

I live at the end of a five-and-a-half-minute hallway
 But as far as I can see, you are still miles from me
 In your doorway
 ♪
 And oh, by the way
 When the landlord came today
 He measured everything
 I knew he'd get it wrong
 But I just played along
 'Cause I was hoping that would fix it all
 But there's only so far I can go
 When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
 I think to myself
 "Five more minutes and I'll be there"
 Inside your door
 But there's more to this story
 Than I've been letting on
 There are words made of letters, unwritten
 And yes, I forgive you for leading me on
 You can think of it like this
 When you can't resist
 I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff
 And just when I think I find the trick
 I'm tumbling, like an echo
 'Cause there's only so far I can go
 (You've got to believe me, baby)
 When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
 (You've got to believe me, baby)
 I think to myself (to myself)
 "30 seconds and I'll be there"

 (You never listen to me!)
 (We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we think)
 (It is really a much more complicated topic)
