500 miles

Two hundred nights in a cage like this
I spend too many nights with no light in them
Five hundred miles with no shoes at all
I walked so many miles, still I cant reach you
I reached a point where no compass spies
We always knew they were idle lies
You found a bag full of gold that day
Did you throw it away?
Or did you pay to stay?
I built a boat and sailed the seven seas alone
Just to drown on my own in the ocean wide
I crossed the bridge just to burn it down again
You climbed the mountain — did you find me then?
How many times must I fall
Before I fall in love for sure
How many wonders must I recall
Before you fall in love for sure
Two hundred times have I told you so
Five hundred more until you stay — for sure
Two hundred nights, did I force you? — no
Five hundred more until you leave me for sure
I built a boat and sailed the seven seas alone
Just to drown on my own in the oceaqn wide
I crossed the bridge just to burn it down again
You climbed the mountain — did you find me then?
How many times must I fall
Before I fall in love for sure
How many wonders must I recall
Before you fall in love for sure
