8 Minutes

[Verse 1]

Today I turned thirty-three

My oldest didn't call

Middle's outta state

And the youngest lives here with me

It's not just a town

It's a final resting place

When I die from choices

I refused to make

[Chorus]

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones

I'm a long way from home

Only so many days we can own

I'm a long way from home

[Verse 2]

May the places our hearts first broke

All burn down

And what was lost

Rise up from the ground

Now I'll hold you closer

Than a shadow holds a wall

A child holds a doll

The way you catch me when I fall

[Chorus]

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones

I'm a long way from home

Only so many days we can own

I'm a long way from home

[Chorus]

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones

I'm a long way from home

Only so many days we can own

I'm a long way from home

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones

I'm a long way from home

Only so many days we can own

I'm a long way from home
