5 And 1/2 Minute Hallway Lyrics - Poe

I live at the end 

Of a 5 & 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 fix 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 

Five 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 find 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 

Thirty seconds and I'll be there 

You never listen to me 

We cannot really experiment with love 

As freely as we think 

It is really a much more complicated topic
