Five Thousand Miles
It's five in the morning
When I get that call
And I feel thirteen again
We only spoke six hours ago
But I don't mind being woke
As he wishes me a good day
And I bid him good night
Because when five thousand miles
Are separating us
Time-zones play against us
The Earth seems so vast
My sky gets brighter and his darker
But he grabs his guitar
And plays down the phone
He knows I'm a sucker for acoustic
I close my eyes and listen
To the way his voice blends
With the music his guitar makes
Musical chords with a husky tinge
That kind that makes me ache
The ocean separates us
A string tied to my heart
Gets pulled in his direction
He says he gets the same feeling
A tug on his heart that comforts and breaks him
Lets him know I'm still alive
But the distance is still great
At night I look at the stars
And wonder if he is doing the same
I then remember it's still daylight there
The thought burns inside
The distance seems too much
But then my phone plays his song
"I miss you" his text reads
Three simple words
My heart flutters and skips
And I know we can make it
When I get that call
And I feel thirteen again
We only spoke six hours ago
But I don't mind being woke
As he wishes me a good day
And I bid him good night
Because when five thousand miles
Are separating us
Time-zones play against us
The Earth seems so vast
My sky gets brighter and his darker
But he grabs his guitar
And plays down the phone
He knows I'm a sucker for acoustic
I close my eyes and listen
To the way his voice blends
With the music his guitar makes
Musical chords with a husky tinge
That kind that makes me ache
The ocean separates us
A string tied to my heart
Gets pulled in his direction
He says he gets the same feeling
A tug on his heart that comforts and breaks him
Lets him know I'm still alive
But the distance is still great
At night I look at the stars
And wonder if he is doing the same
I then remember it's still daylight there
The thought burns inside
The distance seems too much
But then my phone plays his song
"I miss you" his text reads
Three simple words
My heart flutters and skips
And I know we can make it
