Patrick Jørgensen - Walk The Distance lyrics

I was nine years old with a dream Just a tiny kid, tryna fit in And in between the times when I’m showing up at school I was with my friends, and I’m acting like a fool I’m dropping by the house, I’m in need of mama’s shelter Dropping by to see if there was anything that I could do to help her Whether that be taking out the trash or trashing up the kitchen it’s never safe to say with all the meals that you were cooking Every Sunday waking up to hot cakes Wait in line, see how much time that takes Feeding five of us kids sitting ring around the table When you were walking ill and barely able And our lunch bags had smiles of their own I brought it into school, if I didn’t leave it home I was on the move when your days were feeling long I was into trouble, you was barely holding on Wouldn’t change, hear me out, listen What I needed, shook my eyes and vision Used to be a time, wishing it was different Found it difficult, had to walk the distance Know you’re gone, miss your kitchen What you used to cook, love fixes Used to be a time, wishing it was different Found it difficult, had to walk the distance I was ten years old on a bike Dreams of going big member what it was like Adrenalin rush, out there looking for a jump I was never good, but I thought I was a champ I often came home with bruises on my knees Never had keys, you were there to let me in Patching me up, fixing supper, taking care Making sure my pain and my troubles disappear Airing out my lungs became a habit every night What I had seen was the things that I would write And despite the fact that it was rarely any good At least I felt like audiences really understood Up in all the mix you had a spiral of your own In and out of hospitals became your second home I was on the move, tryna find where I belong Often found a spot, but I knew that it was wrong Wouldn’t change, hear me out, listen What I needed, shook my eyes and vision Used to be a time, wishing it was different Found it difficult, had to walk the distance Know you’re gone, miss your kitchen What you used to cook, love fixes Used to be a time, wishing it was different Found it difficult, had to walk the distance
