Miles Apart

i count the raindrops as they fall
one two three, beat beat beat
each breath i take, my heart beats faster
and the rains coming down harder than ever
looking up at the night sky, i see the same damn stars as you
miles between us and hours away
but you're my first thought, my first thought of each and every day

i count my heart beats and whisper your name
each morning i wake, spread my arm out to feel for you
but the cold sheets touch my fingertips
and it lets me know today will be as empty as yesterday


my brain moves faster than my lips can dare to move
carefully conveying each delicate syllable
but these words cant portray anything close to what i feel

heart's beating faster still and I'm shaking
I used to know my way out of here, but I'm lost.
my skin is bruised and my bones are breaking
My body is collapsing but it's yours for the taking

open your heart, let me in from the cold
put me back in your arms
give me your hand to hold

your hand clutches mine and it feels so nice
the world disappears and im right where im supposed to be
dancing with you under van goghs mulberry tree.
then suddenly you stop and tell me im dreaming,
the wind carries me away and you stand there staring.

we live in two seperate worlds now,
we stand in different geographies.
but the longing will always persist,
and your kiss is the only kiss i will forever miss.
