Out Of Reach / The Truth About Virginia Beach

Just out of reach,
but close enough to see
I've got respect for Tacoma
and respect for London
but if beauty had a city
It would be Richmond
I always keep the girl of my dreams
no closer than arm's length.

I've met the girl of my dreams
I keep her just in sight but always out of reach
I've met the girl of my dreams
And only I know the truth about Virginia Beach
and I'll always keep her at arm's length

Ever since I met her my life's been flawed
she gave me everything I could need
but she stole from my shattered heart
and called it her own to survive her city
She moved to out of the ghetto at the age of thirteen
Around the same time I was moving into Blood City
I was over two thousand miles from home
and she was barely fifteen minutes gone

I've met the girl of my dreams
I keep her just in sight but always out of reach
I've met the girl of my dreams
And only I know the truth about Virginia Beach
and I'll always keep her at arm's length

Mine was the blood on the ground
out of my tattered heart, she bled for me
she always needed courage, so she took the heart
I never tried to retrieve it out of her greater need
I fled to the west heartless and broken
only to return and plant my hooks in Virginia Beach
close enough to catch her when she falls
but keeping the girl always just out of reach

I've met the girl of my dreams
I keep her just in sight but always out of reach
I've met the girl of my dreams
And only I know the truth about Virginia Beach
and I'll always keep her at arm's length
