You know this winter's cold

'Cause you can see your own breath

And it's haunting

Makes the hair stand up on your neck.

Like you're walking with a ghost

Down a dark and lonely road

For the first time

Send a shiver straight down your spine.

And with each step

The fog is growing thicker

Covering

The path you lead and all the space between.


So far away

I can't see

What's in front of me

Or where I've been led.

Five feet ahead

With five steps to take

So close to home

But so far away.


I fear the break of night

'Cause the sun just seems to die

Too quickly,

As shadows scatter from the city.

Like they're running from the sight

Of the flickering streetlight

Covering me.

Just covering

The path you lead and all the space between


So far away

I can't see

What's in front of me

Or where I've been led.

Five feet ahead

With five steps to take

So close to home

But so far away.


It's not good enough,

Never thought you could save me.

Face down in the street,

Now you think you can change me.

Been running away for so long

You could blame me

For everything that got in the way


(Repeat Chorus)
