Five Minutes Away

Five minutes out, she said

But she's still miles away

High-rise rain on the roof tonight

One old speaker is humming low (hummmm)

We ascend in the faded light Taking the long way home

Dot on the screen

Blue line on a map

Lost in the grid

Trapped in the gap Five minutes out That was a lie

Static on the wire

Water on the glass

Time moves slow

As the headlights pass

High-rise rain on the roof tonight

One old speaker is humming low (hummmm) We ascend in the faded

light

Taking the long way home

We climb the stairs

To the edge of the sky

One working speaker

Watching the city go by

High-rise rain on the roof tonight

One old speaker is humming low (hummmm) We ascend in the faded

light

Taking the long way home

Five minutes away

(five minutes) Just one speaker playing As the rain falls down
