Poe 5&1/2 Minute Hallway lyrics

I live at the end
Of a 5 & 1/2 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 have exposed
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
When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself
Thirty 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
