Boarded desire
To be closer to you
Now fifteen thousand miles of sky
Separates this life from one I knew
To be truthful, I can’t get a grip
There’s something about this Jo’burg child
That doesn’t seem to fit
So Christ
Step inside here
And take a look around at what you see
The mess I’ve made of everything
The mess I’ve made of me
‘Cause I’m on zero miles
Heading south to see
Hoping that the ocean holds an answer for me
These things do take time
And time is all I need to see
That I’m alive and safe inside of me
It’s something like hell outside, though
It doesn’t compare
The chaos in conversations
Between my heart and head, oh
There’s something so telling about
My fears won’t disappear
And I’m too close to Cape Town's coast
The sky just flipped its lid and I’m stuck here
Inside, yeah
To take a look around at what I see
The mess I’ve made of everything
The mess I have made of me
‘Cause I’m on zero miles
Heading south to see
Hoping that the ocean holds an answer for me
These things do take time
And time is all I need to see
That I’m alive and safe inside of me
Boarded desire
To be closer to you
Now fifteen thousand miles of sky
Separates this life from one I knew
