Ben Floro Carney - Quarter Mile Lyrics

I was a quarter mile out of town
When I looked back and turned around
I was a couple blocks from your place
In the contradiction of time and space

I saw the last light as the sun went down
I saw the last bus out tonight leavin' town
I'm beaten on account of what I deserve
But I'm a hundred miles from the things you've heard

I held the heat from the sun still in a stone
Heard another hot one tomorrow
Heard a stranger say it's gonna be a hundred and five
Out here in the desert chasing ghosts in the night

I miss your loving, I miss how sweet
I miss the water, I miss the sea

Yeah I been to hell and in hell I burned
Had to learn to focus those lines I blurred
So sorry from now all the way to the end
But tonight i'm free of reasons to lie and pretend
Ever again
