Distance love

(ooh) Your name still lives in the back of my mind

We were kids in those fading hallways

Sharing earphones after class Your hand in mine by the old gym

doorway

Making forever sound like it could last

I still know the way you laughed in summer

How the sunset caught your hair Now I trace those days like

faded pictures And find your voice still waiting there

Miles kept pulling at the thread Till every promise came apart

We said love would cross the distance

But the silence reached my heart

Now you're marrying somebody else And I'm still dancing with our younger

selves In the parking lot,

in your mother's car Back when love felt close,

not worlds apart I keep losing sleep where your memory starts You're

moving on while I'm falling apart I remember Friday night football Your

blue dress under borrowed light We wrote our names inside my notebook

Like that ink could hold us tight Then the calls got short

and colder

Two hearts caught in separate towns

I kept waiting on a

someday

While the years kept laying down I hope he knows the way

you tremble when you cry The little songs you sing when no

one else is by your side I should let go,

I know But tonight I break with the sky

Now you're marrying somebody else And I'm still dancing with our younger

selves In the parking lot,

in your mother's car

Back when love felt close,

not worlds apart I keep losing sleep where your memory starts You're

moving on while I'm falling apart Still wearing the hurt like a

mark on my heart So I fold our days into the dark

And love you from afar (ooh)
