Lyrics

Not within arms length

I'd sever the stars from the sky

and place them in your hands

if I thought another wish / they'd see the light of day

but you stand beyond the sun

Beyond the reach of just a friend

maybe if i grew wings / maybe if you lost yours

these words would flow like water

if you'd let them scrape your heart

Not with in arms length

embedded within my concise effort

a silent cry / I receive no comfort

and as I collapse we remain nothing more than friends

As I hold my breath / a throat full of cement

I'm disgusted by repetition I accept this curse

of friendship / your friend / friendship
