[Verse 1]

You know the distance kills

When it's not so simple

As a five minute drive

To clear the thoughts on my mind

I'll hold onto these stills

In my memories passing

And I still saw the end

Still let it happen again

[Verse 2]

And I told myself

We would never get in this far

I told myself

It would never be this hard

I want you to stay

Just one more night

I want you to stay

Into the morning light

[Pre-Chorus]

And I feel the separation starting

Tell ourselves it's not alarming

Questioning our thoughts required

Protocol is undeciphered

Can we go back one more time again?

[Chorus]

I brace myself

To call it again by something else

I brace myself

Where it goes, only time will tell

[Verse 3]

We left it alone

Just like we said, we'd savor the unknown

Contemplating on the drive home

Second guessing words that felt so certain weeks ago

[Chorus]

I brace myself

To call it again by something else

I brace myself

Where it goes, only time will tell

[Bridge]

Can we wind it back

Listen to ourselves

Disregard the casting call

We played the part, but through it all

By our own hand

We framed the scene

I brace myself

To call it again by something else

[Chorus]

I brace myself

To call it again by something else

I brace myself

Where it goes, only time will tell

[Outro]

And time has told

We left it alone, this time

And carried on, apart
