Ali Barter - Ten Paces lyrics

[Verse 1: Seth Sentry] She goes to bed early and he goes to bed late And it's been that way for weeks now But she ain't tired and he's a dead weight The room's cold as he stares the screen down The bed's warm so she kicks her feet out Through the wall she can hear the ads break She's half awake and he's half asleep And she floats through the depth of his headspace And the bed frame sings out As he lays she pretends she's asleep He pretends he believes her He can tell by the way that she breathes that she isn't So they lie in the darkness Sad thoughts fill the air like birthday balloons As they run away to separate dreams now Back to back, ten paces at noon [Hook: Seth Sentry & Ali Barter] And she don't know that he knows it's over Over And he don't know that she knows it's over Over [Verse 2: Seth Sentry] They don't fight much, tongue full of bite marks Eyes full of tired, smiles stay drawn on Forlorn figures pa** in the hallway With no words exchanged and no foreplay No further games, it has all changed And the floor stays made out of egg shell Every question's a riddle Once they had met in the middle Make camp on the edge now There's a river in between them And it's picking up speed as it deepens They don't know where it will sweep them Afraid to know and they don't wanna get their feet wet So they keep the same secret But they don't know the other has the same one too Only free when they're dreaming Back to back ten paces at noon [Pre-Hook: Ali Barter] Draw your line in the sand There's no right side to stand Tell your lies, hide your plans There's no right side to stand [Hook: Seth Sentry & Ali Barter] And she don't know that he knows it's over Over And he don't know that she knows it's over Over And now that space in between seems so far So far One little word it could bring them closure Over
