#moving away

they say distance makes the heart grow fonder

but that’s only because we’ve been gone longer

and i know that this could work

but i’m scared

because the once crystal blue lake

is now filled with murk

I don’t want to leave you

I don’g want you to leave

Because there’s a chance

that you’ll find someone better

Someone who’s there

Someone you don’t have to drive 5 or more hours to see

maybe once a month

I’m scared because I want to spend the rest of my life with you

and I know you do too

But what if someone better comes along

you don’t have to wait for months to see

You’re the one I’m going to grow old with

that much us obvious to you and me

but what if you decide it’s not worth it

that it’s too much hassle and heartache

that there’s a beautiful girl that’s right there

that you don’t have to wait on and drive 5 hours to see

what if she can give you more than me

what if she makes you happier than me

what if she makes it easier than me

what if it’s too hard to love me from so far away

what if it’s too much on you

I want to grow old with you

and live on a little farm house

with our ducks and dogs and cats and lizards and plants

I want a family and a comfortable life

even if we have to struggle

I want you

But what if someone better comes along

and sweeps you off your feet

quicker than i did

better than i did

that you don’t have to drive 5 or more hours to see

We’re better off apart and that’s ok. I’ll still speak to you at night-when we’re staring at the same stars.
