Lyrics A Distance - John Floreani

A Distance

I’ve held my breath
For twenty fucking years
And hesitation brought me here
It makes it harder to believe
That I’ll see you again
I’m so scared of growing up
I still act like I’m fifteen years old
Too early to give up
But too old to come home
I found myself at a distance
Empty highways and freezing train carriages
I never thought I’d see myself like this
Starving to death in this fucking city apartment
Well, I’m twenty-one
And so alone
Well, this distance it gave me an option
In the form of a shiny red apple
In it’s dark red skin
I saw my reflection
But I couldn’t take it
I sunk my teeth in
