Miles Apart

I saw the love in tears from your father's eyes
When everything was new.
Stopped the world when I saw you dancing.
Never been so beautiful.
I will take you home with me,
Just say you won't let go of me at all.
Lost the words, I'm finally happy.
I'm finally new.

And I'm believing in a miracle.
Trace emotion to the brink of pain.
Let the world be cynical.
Cross an ocean to begin again.

When I woke you were there, it was over.
I watched you fall apart on the car ride,
On the way home.
You and I let it all out.
This is home.
It's chasing down a dream, and living it.
In the throws of a stare, I was open.
Time spent miles apart.
On a long drive, from a pay phone.
Know that I never had doubt.
This where days feel more complete;
Living here with you.

Eyes cross the room,
I feel them like fireflies
When summer's overdue.
Caught the one that finally had me;
Let it be the pinnacle.
Life was taking over me,
Just stay until we both can be alone.
Had to work, I'm finally happy.
It's finally true.

Light from the moon; the question I had.
Pieces of you.
The year that you spent far away.
