Lyrics 5 and 1/2 Minute Hallway - Poe

5 and 1/2 Minute Hallway

I live at the end of a 5 and ½ 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
5 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’ve found 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
Daughter:
You never listen to me
Father:
We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish
It is really a much more complicated topic
