5 & ½ Minute Hallway

I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway But as far as I can see you are still miles from me In your doorway And oh by the way When the landlord came today He measured everything I knew he'd get it wrong But I just played along 'Cause I was hoping that would solve it all But there's only so far I can go When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing I think to myself 5 more minutes and I'll be there Inside your door But there's more to this story Than I have exposed There are words made of letters Unwritten And yes I forgive you For leading me on You can think of it like this When you can't resist I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff And just when I think I've found the trick I'm tumbling Like an echo 'Cause there's only so far I can go When you're living in a hallway that keeps growing I think to myself 30 seconds and I'll be there Daughter: You never listen to me Father: We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish It is really a much more complicated topic
