Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft

acoustic

guitar

picking

fades

in) (

A

distant,

warm

piano

melody

plays)

Ten

minutes

away,

that’

s

all

that

stood

between

our

souls

A

short

walk

down

the

street

to

keep

the

heart

feeling

whole

You

went

back

to

your

parents'

house

to

take

a

little

rest

To

heal

the

weary

spirit,

to

put

the

pain

to

the

test

I

watched

you

pack

your

bags

with

a

hope

inside

my

chest

Counting

down

the

days

until

you’

d

return

to

the

nest

But

the

silence

started

growing

where

your

laughter

used

to

live

And

the

distance

grew

wider

with

the

love

we

had

to

give

Oh,

Sylvie,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

Ten

minutes

feels

like

miles

when

I’

m

feeling

this

low

You

found

your

roots

again

in

the

soil

of

your

past

Leaving

behind

the

life

that

we

built

to

last

Oh,

Sylvie,

it’

s

a

heavy

price

I

pay

Watching

you

drift

ten

minutes

away

We

lived

a

walking

distance

apart,

a

heartbeat

in

between

I

visited

every

evening

just

to

keep

our

vision

clean

To

blur

the

space

that

separated

everything

we

knew

But

you

got

comfortable

back

there,

surrounded

by

the

few

Who

knew

you

long

before

I

did,

before

we

staked

our

claim

Now

the

garden

that

we

tilled

is

overgrown

with

the

same

Cold

realization

that

I’

m

standing

here

alone

While

you’

re

finding

comfort

in

a

house

that

isn't

our

own

Oh,

Sylvie,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

Ten

minutes

feels

like

miles

when

I’

m

feeling

this

low

You

found

your

roots

again

in

the

soil

of

your

past

Leaving

behind

the

life

that

we

built

to

last

Oh,

Sylvie,

it’

s

a

heavy

price

I

pay

Watching

you

drift

ten

minutes

away 15

years

out

of 25,

we

sacrificed

it

all

For

our

own

comfort,

for

the

love

that

stood

tall

But

now

you’

re

taking

burdens

that

belong

to

someone

else

Leaving

me

to

navigate

this

shadow

by

myself

We

could

have

sorted

out

the

trouble

here,

side

by

side

But

you

chose

the

familiar,

and

there’

s

nowhere

left

to

hide

I

see

your

light

go

on

across

the

neighborhood

at

night

But

I

don't

knock

the

door,

I

don't

try

to

make

it

right

Maybe

you

needed

peace

that

I

couldn't

provide

Maybe

the

weight

of

us

was

too

much

to

keep

inside

But

the

silence

of

the

street

is

a

testament

to

loss

Counting

up

the

memories

and

calculating

cost

I’

m

still

waiting

for

the

day

you

walk

back

through

the

gate

But

ten

minutes

feels

like

forever

when

you’

re

standing

in

the

wait

Oh,

Sylvie,

why

did

you

have

to

go?

Ten

minutes

feels

like

miles

when

I’

m

feeling

this

low

You

found

your

roots

again

in

the

soil

of

your

past

Leaving

behind

the

life

that

we

built

to

last

Oh,

Sylvie,

it’

s

a

heavy

price

I

pay

Watching

you

drift

ten

minutes

away

Ten

minutes

away...

Just

a

walk

down

the

street...

But

it’

s

a

million

miles

from

me.

Syl,

why

did

you

go? (

Guitar

Final

piano

chord

rings

into

silence)
