Denizen (Distance)

by Hadassah Grace

It’s time to say goodbye again

Seems like everyone leaves and nobody stays
I’m such a mess and I feel out of place
Nowhere is home and I’ll never belong
I’m just passing through, and then I’ll move on

And I know it’s better to love and to lose and to hurt 
than to keep my distance

So take my hand, let’s run away
Tell me your story, I’ll share in your pain
Dive in the deep end, trust without fear
And we’ll make this time worth all the tears
Please don’t keep your distance

There’s not enough time to hide who you are
So show us your bruises, your burns and your scars 
And we will show you ours 
We don’t keep our distance

Take my hand, let’s run away
Tell me your story, I’ll share in your pain
Dive in the deep end, trust without fear
And we’ll make this time worth all the tears
There’s no room for shallow here 
Please don’t keep your distance

It’s time to say goodbye again

I stare out the airplane window 
A hundred memories come back 
Tears flood my eyes and I don’t hold them back
Each moment creates more distance between us 
But I’m glad I know while I was there I loved
With everything I had, I didn’t keep my distance, 
Didn’t take the easy way out, I didn’t keep my distance

Hello 
I’m sorry 
I might take things a little too fast
It’s just because I’ve learned that nothing lasts
Please don’t keep your distance
There’s not enough time 
Because everything changes, everything changes 
And I’m already thinking of goodbye 
Soon I’ll say goodbye again

And nowhere is home and I’ll never belong 
Nowhere is home and I’ll never belong
We love and we lose 
We always say goodbye
Nowhere is home, nowhere is home

Take my hand 
There’s no room for shallow here
