Five Feet Ahead

Postmark Twain


You know this winter's cold 
'Cause you can see your own breath 
And it's haunting 
Makes the hair stand up on your neck. 
Like you're walking with a ghost 
Down a dark and lonely road 
For the first time 
Send a shiver straight down your spine. 
And with each step 
The fog is growing thicker 
Covering 
The path you lead and all the space between. 

So far away 
I can't see 
What's in front of me 
Or where I've been led. 
Five feet ahead 
With five steps to take 
So close to home 
But so far away. 

I fear the break of night 
'Cause the sun just seems to die 
Too quickly, 
As shadows scatter from the city. 
Like they're running from the sight 
Of the flickering streetlight 
Covering me. 
Just covering 
The path you lead and all the space between 

So far away 
I can't see 
What's in front of me 
Or where I've been led. 
Five feet ahead 
With five steps to take 
So close to home 
But so far away. 

It's not good enough, 
Never thought you could save me. 
Face down in the street, 
Now you think you can change me. 
Been running away for so long 
You could blame me 
For everything that got in the way 

(Repeat Chorus)
