Hours Apart, Heart Aligned

[Verse 1]
You hate that highway
It steals our weekends
You count the exits
Till my name ends
On your screen at 2am
Blue glow on your face again
You say
"I’m tired
Of loving through a phone"
You’re scared the quiet
Will drag you down alone
But every mile between our beds
Is a line I trace back to your head
[Chorus]
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
Same beat
Same rush
On a different line
You can’t have me every night
But I’m yours in every fight
Yeah
The road runs long
But I won’t let go
I’ll burn that map before I lose your soul
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
I won’t let distance steal what’s mine (what’s ours)
[Verse 2]
You count the raindrops
On your window
I mark the mileposts
In my shadow
We live in coffee
Calls
And dreams
Same story written in two scenes
You say
"What if
You find someone close?"
I say
"I’d still
Choose you the most"
I’m not leaving when I leave
You’re the only thing I breathe
[Chorus]
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
Same beat
Same rush
On a different line
You can’t have me every night
But I’m yours in every fight
Yeah
The road runs long
But I won’t let go
I’ll burn that map before I lose your soul
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
I won’t let distance steal what’s mine (what’s ours)
[Bridge]
[Band drops
Piano and vocal]
I’ll drive through doubt
I’ll tear straight through the dark
Every missed goodnight
Just sharpens up the spark
[Full band crashes back in]
So hold this truth
When the nights feel rough
You don’t have me all the time
But you have all my love (all my love, hey!)
[Chorus]
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
Same beat
Same rush
On a different line
You can’t have me every night
But I’m yours in every fight
Yeah
The road runs long
But I won’t let go
I’ll burn that map before I lose your soul
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
I won’t let distance steal what’s mine
We’re hours apart
But our hearts keep time
I won’t let distance steal what’s mine (what’s ours)
