Ten Minutes Lyrics
Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my friends all say I'm crazy
Maybe I'm being selfish
Maybe I'm just scared
Don't be gone when I get home
I need you there
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart
Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my heart is saying you're crazy
Maybe things are getting better
Maybe things aren't so bad
Don't be gone when I get home
You're all I have
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart
Pockets empty
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out
It works out
Sometimes I miss you more
Whenever I'm at home
I've been home all summer
Now I'm leaving you alone
Pockets empty
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
Everything will work out...
Is ten minutes too far
When my friends all say I'm crazy
Maybe I'm being selfish
Maybe I'm just scared
Don't be gone when I get home
I need you there
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart
Is ten minutes too far
When my heart is saying you're crazy
Maybe things are getting better
Maybe things aren't so bad
Don't be gone when I get home
You're all I have
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out
It works out
Whenever I'm at home
I've been home all summer
Now I'm leaving you alone
How can you tell me that everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
Everything will work out...

i go away every summer vaction to my aunts and - it makes me think of walking downtown to meet someone ,and im just walking..and it makes me think about ...when i worry about going home-and knowing when im home im always think about all the fun being there.because at home i have so many hang ups that i just dont wanna come home to
wow. i can't believe that nobody has commented on this song. matthew pryor outdid himself on this song. this has to be the best 'get up kids' song that i have ever heard. it is so sad, desprictive, heartfelt and plainly amazing. the whole song is the story of my life, well kinda. but none the less this song is just flat out awesome. you can hear his pain so clearly when he sings.
yeah this song fuckin' rocks. It's not their best song but it is definitely up there in the top 5. Great live cut for them too.
damn, this is the second best song by guk to Don't Hate Me.
you TRIED to type out the greatest song ever written but you got a LOT of the words messed up, subtly but still
I just listened to the song and he has all the words right and everything so I don't know what you are talking about.<p><b><i>Edited by oofus on December 18 2004, at 04:25PM</i></b></p>
The Get-Up Kids are who got me into "emo" in the first place. This is definately an awesome song, and Something To Write Hom About is a great album.
i love this. this has to relate to everybody.
this was the first get up kids song that i had ever heard and i was hooked after the first 30 seconds of this song. my friends band actually got their name from this song; minutes too far, good luck with the band guys
matt pryor didn't write this song, jim suptic did, their voices sound a lot the same, but there is a slight difference
