Mind the Gap

Can't afford the time
It's still feeling borrowed
I'm in a perpetual state of longing
To be in motion

I've been this way since you left
Burning up at both my ends
Again

My existential dread
Of staying home
I had no plans
But I feel there's something
I'm missing out on

Cause if I slow down
And don't keep swimming
I think I'll drown
So don't stop me now

My mind's a mile a minute
You left space nothing to fill it and I

I, I can change the way I'm living
Ask how I've been
Just say I'm busy
It's not a lie

Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
(Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in)

And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
(Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet)

Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
(Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in)

And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
(Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet)

You know sitting still's gonna make me restless
One place for too long
Is bound to make me anxious

But my self worth is unstable
And I'm built on fragile terms
I'm relying on the kindness
Of strangers passing words

When they don't know who I am
They don't know what I've done
That I'm chasing up something
But it's me I can't outrun

Oh, oh oh, oh

My mind's a mile a minute
You left space nothing to fill it and I

I, I can change the way I'm living
Ask how I've been
Just say I'm busy
It's not a lie

Oh
Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
(Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in)

And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
(Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet)

When you left
This is how I adapted
So don't tell me
That I don't know the difference
Between being fine and being distracted
Mind the gap on your exit
