Chris Michaud - Out of Reach Lyrics

I've been thinking
About how I've been going
About all of this, and
Nothing seems the way
I envisioned it could be

I've been in my head
Spinning up
Imagining all it could be
But it doesn't mean
Any of this is real

No matter what I could have done
No matter when I would have met you
You would have always been out of reach
No matter how I tried to keep up
No matter how good I could be
You were always just out of reach

Forgive me, I've built a wall
To keep myself
Or is it to keep you out
I can't answer the questions
You ask of me

Forgive me, please
I've overstepped my bounds
The words I've used now
Left my chest, turn and twist
Met resistance
How could I have been so unaware

No matter what I could've done
No matter what I could have said
I was damned from the moment
I opened my mouth and said hello
No matter what happened then
The present tense, or futures yet still to come
I'll always just be out of reach
To reach out to you

No matter what I could have done
No matter when we could've met
You were never going to be
Anyone I would be good for
No matter what I built up strong
The walls would always have to fall
And I would be swept away
Back to the sea

Mercy please
This troubled mind
Cloud thoughts have left me blind
To all the barriers and
Gentle waves away from your sea

Mercy please
I'd hoped you'd find
Some little space
Inside your mind for me
But how blind could I be
Not to have seen it all?
