Approximately 1,700 Miles Away - 7.22.01
The epitome of the soppy emo song, lyrically.
It's about Bekah going off to college last fall.
--Adam
I don't know what I miss more;
being away from you.
The same sad scene plays over and over,
the door shuts, your car leaves, I cry in the covers.
Inertial rerun "Worst Day of My Life"
I'm glued to the screen and the remote's out of batteries.
So what now, where do I go from here?
I'm too lost too frequently.
Maybe I'll sit down and write you a song
that you'll never hear because you're 1,700 miles away.
I can't believe
that she's really gone.
Can't help but feel (like I'll)
never see her again...
never see her again.
She comes back, in a couple of weeks.
I still love her, but I'm nervous.
I'll pick her up at Detroit Metro Airport.
I still love her, but I'm nervous.
I've been knocked to the floor again;
being away from you.
And I'll just mess things up again;
being away from you.
