[Verse 1] We sit and talk for hours Coffee getting cold You’re tracing little circles In my hand you hold [Pre-Chorus] Then you’re at that airport doorway Boarding pass in your shaking hand Say it’s only for a short while Still it’s harder than we planned [Chorus] ’Cause when we’re apart It seems like hours Every minute stretching out so long No matter how much distance No matter how many days are gone We’re really not that far apart I feel you breathing in my chest I can pick up the phone Call or text And suddenly I’m beside you again (oh) Beside you again [Verse 2] You send a blurry selfie Laughing in that town I’m lying in our bedroom Wearing your old shirt you left around [Pre-Chorus] All the miles out on that highway All the nights in a different bed Fade away when I see your name Lighting up in blue and red [Chorus] ’Cause when we’re apart It seems like hours Every second dragging like a day No matter how much distance You’re only half a heartbeat away We’re really not that far apart You’re the thought I never miss I just pick up the phone Call or text And I’m right back where your heartbeat is (hey) Beside you again [Bridge] One ring Two rings I hear your tired “hey” We laugh We breathe And all that space just slips away [Chorus] When we’re apart It seems like hours But your voice pulls me through No matter how much distance Every road just leads to you We’re really not that far apart Every sunrise Every end I can pick up the phone Call or text And I’m already holding your hand I’m already home in your hands Beside you again (oh yeah) Beside you again
