lyrics

Five Feet
Music and lyrics © 2010 Eleanor Fye

Running through the woods
Can’t stop to walk
I got an eye on the trail
One on the clock

Leg cramp takes me
Right off the trail
I’m gonna take a stretch
Gotta find a rail

A few more steps and a spot I’d never seen
A babbling brook surrounded by oh so much green

And I thought…
Who knew that a bad situation
Could take me to such fascination

Five feet from paradise
You know I never thought I’d be so close
It’s so nice
Five feet from paradise
And I’m takin’ some time
To take it all in
Five feet from paradise

Friends dragged me out
One Friday night
I didn’t wanna go but was
Too tired to put up a fight

Next thing I know I’m looking
‘Cross the bar
And I see your eyes
Shining like two bright stars

Standing right there in just a matter of feet
Was just the kind of person I’d always wanted to meet

And I thought…
Who knew an annoying situation
Could bring me such a sense of elation

[Chorus]
