lyrics

________________________

Gone Too Far

Pack up your beauty
Pack up your inspirations
Secrets and mysteries
Affections and revelations
In a box by the back door
Close enough to grab on your way to the car
When it’s gone too far

Beer clocks in barrooms
The calendar on the café wall
They won’t lie to you
But they don’t care at all
Holes in the drywall
Size of a fist, shape of a heart
Say it’s gone too far

Some things cannot stay
In a box too long
It’s not about light or air
It’s just wrong
It’s not the distance
It’s about losing who you are
Gone too far
