Boarded desire to be closer to you
Now fifteen thousand miles of sky
Separates this life from one I knew
To be truthful I can’t get a grip
There’s something about this Jo’burg child
That doesn’t seem to fit
So Christ, step inside here
And take a look around at what you see
The mess I’ve made of everything
The mess I’ve made of me
‘Cause I’m on 0 miles
Heading south to sea
Hoping that the ocean holds an answer for me
These things do take time
And time is all in need
To see that I’m alive and safe inside of me
It’s something like hell outside
Though it doesn’t compare
The chaos in conversations between my heart and head
There’s something so telling about
My fears won’t disappear
And I’m too close to Cape Towns’ coast
The sky just flipped its lid and I’m stuck here
Inside
To take a look around at what I see
The mess I’ve made of everything
The mess I have made of me
‘Cause I’m on 0 miles
Heading south to see
Hoping that the ocean holds an answer for me
These things do take time
And time is all in need
To see that I’m alive and safe inside of me
Boarded desire to be closer to you
Now fifteen thousand miles of sky
Separates this life from one I knew
