• i was going through songs randomly in iTunes and came across one of my
  favorite bands from college,  a Chicago band called Sarge, fronted
  by Elizabeth Elmore.  Just posting the lyrics doesn’t do this
  justice,  her voice is beautiful….

  sarge, “half as far”

  
  Sometimes – seems like you’re my only friend
  
  
  a month apart and back again
  
  
  and we’re losing speed
  
  
  and now we’ve talked this through a thousand times
  
  
  I fall apart and still you try
  
  
  we’re losing heat to all the little things
  
  
  that smolder in the spring
  

  
  

  You’re only half as far as I need to go–oh
  
  
  for another endless drive
  
  
  I stare straight ahead
  
  
  and wonder why,
  
  
  this feeling grows with everyday I’m far from home
  

  
  
  
  Last night – I listened to you breathe
  
  
  I like to watch you when you sleep
  
  
  and there’s a storm outside
  
  
  but there’s a comfort in your voice,
  
  
  it brings me silence through the noise
  
  
  that fills my mind
  
  
  with all the little things
  
  
  that smolder in the spring
  

  
  
  
  So now I take the phone to bed at night
  
  
  to catch your calls and pick more fights
  
  
  I’m not being fair
  
  
  see i don’t want to waste your time
  
  
  and it’s not that you’re a waste of mine
  
  
  but I’m getting scared of all the little things
  
  
  that smolder in the spring

  You’re only half as far as I need to go–oh
  

  
  for another endless drive
  

  
  I stare straight ahead
  

  
  and wonder why,
  

  
  this feeling grows with everyday I’m far from home
