The suitcases filled the hallway You smiled and said, "I'll be okay." I kissed your forehead at the door Knowing six months meant so much more New cities every other night Hotel rooms and neon lights Every crowd would sing along But something always felt half gone Maps and miles Became my days Your voice kept The homesick away Every call Was never long enough Every mile Just made me miss your touch Every night I'd search the crowd Without believing You'd be around A thousand faces Passed me by But yours Stayed on my mind One more show One more town One more night Without you now Phone lights glow Half past two "Did you eat?" "Yeah... how about you?" "I miss your laugh..." "I miss your arms..." "Only three more months..." "It feels too far..." We'd say goodbye Then neither would Hang up first Like lovers do Another city Another stage Different hotel Different name I learned the ceilings Of every room Watched summer Slip by too soon Every night Before the lights I'd take one look Across the room Left to right... Row by row... Knowing... You'd never be there... The lights came up The first chord rang The crowd exploded Like always I looked left... Then right... That old denim jacket... Front row... Then I saw your smile... Singing every word... Eight hours driving After work Just to steal One Saturday night You never told me You were coming You just... Showed up... Every night I'd searched the crowd Never believing You'd be around Out of thousands There you were Front row... Singing every word Every mile Led to this Every lonely Night was worth it You took my hand Outside the lights No more miles For one more night Still laughing Still holding on Walking home... Before the dawn... Walking home... You and I...
