Distance Between Skin

Cardboard boxes line the hardwood floor

Your winter coat is hanging by the door

We talk in whispers like we're out of time

Trying to memorize your hand in mine

And the highway map is laid across the bed

Every mile marker running through my head (mmmmm)

Go find your horizon,

go chase down your dreams

Even when the distance tears me at the seams

I will love you from the quiet of this room

Hoping that the road leads back to you soon (oh,

back to you)

I'll keep your favorite coffee mug right here

And talk to you whenever you are near

In my thoughts, across the state lines wide

Still walking right beside you side by side

Go safe, my love

(mmmmm) I'll be right here
