Tyler Burkhart Polite Distractions Lyrics

I felt so quiet and so small there
Beneath the leaves of locust trees
When I was tired, a dream submersed me
Like a boat upon the sea

And all the friends I meet
Polite distractions
From where I long to be

Though I wish I could not remember
I don't want to forget your name
Your silhouette across the curtains
Your flowers in the vase

And all the friends I meet
Polite distractions
From where I long to be

No I don't want to live forever
The world exists but not to me
I seem to reach for what's beyond me
For something I have never seen
