Short Way Down - Drone

Isn’t this surprising

You’re leaving me

No way to return

After all the ups and downs

Why’d you have to

Hang me by my word

It’s a long way up

Short way down

I know I’ve never been

The person

I promised you I would be

(Long way up)

I know we’ve never

Seen the places

I told you once we would see

(Short way down)

We’d have gotten there

In time I know

Long way up

Short way down

Facing only failure

The images are

Haunting me at night

It’s a sickness still inside me

The acid tracks you’ve left

Have stained my life

It’s a long way up

Short way down

I know I’ve never been

The person

I promised you I would be

(Long way up)

I know we’ve never

Seen the places

I told you once we would see

(Short way down)

We’d have gotten there

In time I know

Long way up

Short way down

Fighting over time

That’s wasted

Creates wasted time

You’ve looked

In other lonely faces

Now look in mine

It wasn’t so surprising

Your leaving me with

No way to return

After all the ups and downs

I guess you had to

Hang me by my word

It’s a long way up

Short way down

I know I’ve never been

The person

I promised you I would be

(Long way up)

I know we’ve never

Seen the places

I told you once we would see

(Short way down)

We’d have gotten there

In time I know

Long way up

Short way down
