Miles between us but I still want to close the distance.

The kitchen clock keeps talking in the quiet

Your coffee cup still sits beside my sink

I trace the map lines on the fridge at midnight

And count the miles in every missing blink

Your jacket on the chair still holds your laughter

A little ghost of cedar, smoke, and rain

I hear your voice in every passing truck light

Then the room goes still and starts again

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me

I’ve been learning how to live with empty evenings

How to smile when your name lights up my phone

We talk in little pieces, small and steady

Like seeds we plant to keep the promise growing strong

You say the moon looks different where you’re staying

I say the stars still hang the same as before

And every “soon” you whisper through the distance

Feels like a hand on my shoulder, asking for more

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me

When the tires finally hum up our driveway

And your arms fold all my aching into dust

There’ll be tears, there’ll be shaking, there’ll be laughter

And the whole wide world will finally fit between us

Miles between us, but love don’t lose its way

I hold you in the dark until the break of day

Every road we’ve waited on is leading us home

No matter how the hard wind blows, we’re never alone

I’ll be right here when the long night fades

With the same two hearts, just a little more brave

Miles between us, but I still believe

One day soon, you’ll be back here next to me
