"Mind The Gap" lyrics

Can't afford the time, it's still feeling borrowed
I'm in a perpetual state of longing to be in motion
I've been this way since you left
Burning up at both my ends, again
My existential dread of staying home, I had no plans
But I feel there's something I'm missing out on
'Cause if I slow down and don't keep swimming, I think I'll drown
So don't stop me now

My mind's a mile a minute
You left space nothing to fill it and I (I)
I can change the way I'm living
Ask how I've been, just say, "I'm busy", it's not a lie

'Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in
And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet
'Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in
And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet

You know sitting still's gonna make me restless
One place for too long is bound to make me anxious
But my self worth is unstable and I'm built on fragile terms
I'm relying on the kindness of strangers passing words
When they don't know who I am, they don't know what I've done
That I'm chasing up something, but it's me I can't outrun
(Oh, oh oh, oh)

My mind's a mile a minute
You left space nothing to fill it and I (I)
I can change the way I'm living
Ask how I've been, just say, "I'm busy", it's not a lie
Oh

'Cause if I keep on my toes
I barely notice you're gone
Between the bus and the late train
No time for the feeling to creep in
And if I keep up appearance
Don't mind the gap I've been left with
Then no one will notice
Different city, my house isn't home yet

When you left this is how I adapted
So don't tell me that I don't know the difference
Between being fine and being distracted
Mind the gap on your exit
