Ten Digits Away

I shouldn't think like this

But I know

that you're not driving home without the same thoughts goin through your head

I don't want to

be the one to

Bring this to its natural end

to say nothing

Is self destructive

Your phone is ringing, don't you crawl into bed

I know it's easier to say

Let's keep it simple, safe, mundane

Went through the motions of our needs

Now you look through me

We can live our separate lives

But if there ever comes a time

Just know I'm 10 digits away from what you wanted to say

To me

You shouldn't think like this

But you know

It gets harder to decipher when there's feelings involved

Do we smother or uncover?

Or just let it dissolve AND

yea I want to be the one to

Bring this to its natural end

No more bluffing or saying nothing

Your phone is screaming don't you crawl into bed

I know it's easier to say

Let's keep it simple, safe, mundane

Went through the motions of our needs

Now you look through me

We can live our separate lives

But if there ever comes a time

Just know I'm 10 digits away from what you wanted to say

To me

You know it all meant so much more to me

My favorite alibi?

You were a want and not a need

And in this ballad about dignity

You're a lullaby

That's been singing me to sleep

I know it's easier to say

Let's keep it simple, safe, mundane

Yea I saw it in your face

When you were pushing me away

Just know I'm 10 digits away

From what you wanted to say

To me
