Stone's Throw

Went out for a drink With a friend from a while back Her triumphs and trials ringing Clearer than my phone And that drink turned into three Happy hour into bedtime You were drowning in your head when I came Floating home Babe are you ok? I was only a stone's throw away You shook as you recounted Your flight of fancy That crashed when I didn't answer Your distress signal And you wondered aloud If you were better off without me On some distant mountain In complete control Lonely but safe Now I'm just a stone's throw away When we let it fly Babe it hurts like hell Gotta set our sights On someone else The throes of love Are unrelenting Sometimes a common enemy Is your best friend Look we may be a lot But we're not as much as they are Bet she'd rather she never Heard him call again When the seeds that we've sown Are choking on stones Remember the neighbors They're only a stone's throw away --- Stone's Throw - Nickel Creek
