distance

staring at the screen while the clock ticks slow, Got a thousand miles where the cold winds blow. Phone light shining in a dark room, Waiting on a text to chase away the gloom. Time zones keeping us apart on the map, Trapped in the middle of a zero-sum trap. I hear your voice and it feels so near, Then the signal drops and I'm facing the fear. Chorus Oh, this distance is a heavy road to tread, With a million unsaid thoughts inside my head. The map keeps stretching and the hours grow long, Trying to remember how it feels where you belong. Miles between us, but the bond don't break, Counting down the days for your sweet love's sake. Verse 2 Aeroplanes fly high through the troposphere, Wish I could teleport and just vanish from here. Empty side of the bed, cold sheet on the right, Pacing up and down through the dead of the night. They say that absence makes the heart grow fond, But it tests the strength of the sacred bond. Still I write these bars on a flight at three, Hoping that the next hello sets us both free. If you want, I can: Staring at the screen while the clock ticks slow, Lost in my thoughts, let the moonlight glow, Every pixel shines, like a dream I know, Whispers in the dark, where the secrets flow. Time drips like honey, sweet but never fast, Moments frozen still, wishing they could last, Chasing shadows of a future from the past, Every heartbeat echoes, like a spell I cast. Fading in the silence, let the world unfold, Stories in the silence, waiting to be told, Eyes wide open, but my mind's on hold, Dreams paint the canvas, while the night turns cold. Hopes like constellations, guiding me through space, Feeling every heartbeat in this empty place, Caught between the stars, lost in time and grace, Staring at the screen, but I’m finding my pace.
