Lyrics

if i had my way
you'd never say goodbye
if i had a say
your smile would never tire
if i had my way
you'd never run in place
i'd never have to work this hard
to remember your face

ten floors above 19th avenue
jumpers are felons three seconds, at best
you're so far beyond what i ever knew
i'm so far away that it feels close to you

if i had to run
why does it bring me back to you
if you had to go
but you stayed so long, what were we supposed to do
if i had to say
i'd never say a word
you could've asked
a thousand ways

the silence said everything for you
the silence said everything i could never make up to you

and now it's too late
too late to try
too many days to cry
she called me and said
it's not too late to say goodbye

ten floors above 19th avenue
jumpers are felons three seconds at best
you were something i never knew
i'm so far away now it's close to you
so far away it feels close to you
