Kicking Distance Lyrics - Singles - Steve Poltz

Well, there's wine on the page 

And my heart's enraged 

And I must call the cops on myself 

And my bony hands 

Probe the bed for your body 

But I'm left once again on the shelf 

Well, I tried to be patient 

And I tried to be cool 

And I took acting classes 

But I wound up a fool 

Your belongings are outside the door 

Hanging up in a stocking 

'Cause I am within kicking distance of your heart 

Oh yeah, kicking distance of your heart 

Well, I am within kicking distance of your heart 

And I must warn others 

Others from you 

Others from you 

Others from you 

What started so simple 

Has turned into a pimple 

Unsightly and sore to the touch 

The peace in my mind 

Has been so hard to come by 

And you become more of a crutch 

You're prolific in bed 

And you're always so cool 

But I'm like Brian Jones 

Left to sleep in the pool 

Only to be discovered by some dirty 

Construction workers 

'Cause I am within kicking distance of your heart 

Oh yeah, kicking distance of your heart 

Well, I am within kicking distance of your heart 

And I must warn others 

Others from you 

Others from you 

Others from you 

Well, the wine is all spilt 

In the house that we built 

And the cops never come 

When I call 

Well, your prodigal son 

Has gone south for awhile 

And maybe I'll see you next fall 

You're annoying and comforting 

All in the same 

Well, what once was so precious 

Has now become lame 

The coyotes are outside your door 

And they're serving your papers 

'Cause I am within kicking distance of your heart 

Oh yeah, kicking distance of your heart 

Well, I am within kicking distance of your heart 

And I must warn others 

Others from you 

Others from you 

Others from you
