The distance doesn't feel right

Is this distance really a goodbye?

Holding out

Holding up

Staring at my phone

Hoping your name will pop up

As each day travels around the sun

It's still apparent that you're the only one

I'll say I love you with every breath that fills my lungs

As each day travels around the sun

The distance doesn't feel right

Is this distance really a goodbye?

Shutting down

Shutting up

Wanting to come home

Guess I missed the bus

As each day travels around the sun

It's still apparent that you're the only one

I'll say I love you with every breath that fills my lungs

As each day travels around the sun
