the miles between

Verse 1: The sun’s been setting on another long day, Swinging hammers just to keep the bills at bay. Every mile between us feels like an empty space, I’m counting down the hours ‘til I see your face. This highway stretches farther than my eyes can see, But all I want is to have you here with me. Chorus: She’s the reason I’m still standing under a distant sky, The hardest part of leaving is always saying goodbye. Every mile feels heavier when she’s not around, I’m working hard just to make it back to solid ground. And until I’m home, I’ll carry her in my dreams, She’s the only thing that gets me through these miles between. Verse 2: Nights are colder when you’re not by my side, The stars don’t shine the same without you in my life. I picture you back home, waiting patiently, While I’m stuck out here, fighting just to be free. Every swing of the hammer, every step I take, Brings me closer to you, no matter what’s at stake. Chorus: She’s the reason I’m still standing under a distant sky, The hardest part of leaving is always saying goodbye. Every mile feels heavier when she’s not around, I’m working hard just to make it back to solid ground. And until I’m home, I’ll carry her in my dreams, She’s the only thing that gets me through these miles between. Bridge: The road may be long, but it’s not where I belong, I’ll keep pushing through ‘til I’m back where I’m strong. With you in my arms, that’s where I find my rest, This distance is just time, and time’s a simple test. Chorus: She’s the reason I’m still standing under a distant sky, The hardest part of leaving is always saying goodbye. Every mile feels heavier when she’s not around, I’m working hard just to make it back to solid ground. And until I’m home, I’ll carry her in my dreams, She’s the only thing that gets me through these miles between.
