10 Miles From Nowhere

How have you been in the shape you were in
I'm surprised that you got where you're going
And who would believe what a date you would be
If I knew I'd have thought about knowing

And in between now and the last time we met
I'd open the door if I met you again
And I swear that we'd be better fair ever friends
From here until 10 miles from nowhere

What is that there in your brown paper box
I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost
And I'd sworn it was you who was destined and gone
To the pressure of past undertakings

And had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
For the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee, oh yeah

And had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three yeah
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
From here until 10
From now until 10 miles from nowhere
