Ten Foot Pole

I took this job 'cause it was my dream
and I work hard for it
You congratulated me for not settling for a lesser life
And you followed dreams of your own and I love you
for it
But now success is bittersweet, it swept you up, and
took you far away
Now we simply take it day by day
But days without you go slow
And someday in a week or nine
Our paths will cross and for a time
You'll hold me like you'll never let me go
By day it's clear my mission's here
Three thousand miles feels like a few
At night alone I hold the phone
I'd toss it all to be with you
My friends laugh when we're out sometimes
A girl gets aggressive
She'll rub my leg I'll hit the street
She can't compete 'cause no one can touch you
Now I'm spoiled by all the things you do
I'm ruined and it shows
And someday...
In my mind, there will be a time when we can stay
together like I know we're meant to
It's all right
I keep telling myself if I wait then someday we'll be
close if I hold on
The thought of us together makes me strong
I'm stronger than you know
