[Intro I can see the lights now… Feels like a lifetime in a breath… [Verse 1] Boots still heavy with the dust of goodbye Smoke in my lungs, echoes I can’t deny Every mile I leave, I carry them still Names in the silence, voices that will Follow me home through the sound of the rain Through every window, every passing train I made it out, but I didn’t come whole Left parts of me in a war-torn soul [Pre-Chorus] But your face… it finds me in the dark Like a fire, like a spark [Chorus] I’m one mile away from your arms tonight One breath closer to your light I’ve been holding on through the gunfire haze Just to see your eyes again, your gentle gaze Your laughter lives in my tired mind Your touch is the peace I couldn’t find I’m breaking through all the pain I’ve known Just one mile… till I’m finally home [Verse 2] I remember your hair in the summer wind The way you smiled when you pulled me in Your voice like a song I never outgrew Even in chaos, I held onto you But I still see shadows where my brothers fell Hear their last words like a whispered spell They had dreams too, they had someone to miss Now I carry their ghosts in every heartbeat’s twist [Pre-Chorus] And I swear… I’ll tell you all their names Through the tears, through the flames [Chorus] I’m one mile away from your arms tonight One breath closer to your light I’ve been walking through the fire and rain Just to feel your touch erase the pain Your beauty’s more than I can explain Like sunlight breaking through my pain I’m barely holding my soul in place One more mile… till I see your face [Bridge] If I fall apart when you hold me near It’s the weight of every year Of every night I thought I’d fade Of every promise that we made Tell me I’m still the man you knew Not just a ghost that made it through I need your love to make me stay Don’t let me drift too far away [Break / Soft Drop] For them… I’ll live… For you… I’ll heal… [Final Chorus] I’m one mile away, I can see your door I ain’t that lost boy anymore Through the tears, through the war inside You’re the place where I can hide Your eyes… still my only peace The only war that brings release I’m shaking now, but I won’t run One last step… and I’m undone [Outro] I’m here… But they’re still with me…
