Nemes Five Minutes Lyrics

Five minutes to give a good reason why you should stay
And keep on believing in me
Well, it's floating right by and I can't seem to find the words inside
That this explanation needs

And you're walking out the door
And I'm spilling on the floor
'Cause there goes our shot at forevermore

Five minutes before my motion sickness starts to sink into
My stomach's pit as we leave the ground
Floating right past my window glass is a perfect world
That'll never last when we touch back down

It's just miles and miles of earth
That's getting eaten by the surf
But from up here I can't feel an ounce of hurt

And Mother Nature sighs
And turns out the lights
And very softly cries for every one of us
For all the turbulent seas
Of humanity
That's stricken by grief but striving for peace

Five minutes before I'm finished with the world I knew
But now I'm leaving soon
Well, I say my goodbyes to the burning skies
And then set my sights on the newly waxing moon

And the distant lights approach
So I grab my bag and coat
Because from now on to you, I am just a ghost
