[Verse 1]
Sun up
Steel toes, black coffee
Grease on my hands
But the work don’t stop me
Clock in
Same farm road, same sky
I lift, I haul
But I still check my phone and sigh
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the distance, tougher than the miles
I can carry my own weight, I can fake my own smile
Got a backbone of fire, and I don’t back down
But I still want your arms when the sun goes down
Yeah I run this life on my own two feet
But I want you, I want you
Want you loving me
[Verse 2]
Your face
Folded in my wallet
Uniform creased
With the letters you’ve dotted
You say
“Baby, I’m so proud of you”
But I lay awake
Thinking I belong to you
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the distance, tougher than the miles
I can carry my own weight, I can fake my own smile
Got a backbone of fire, and I don’t back down
But I still want your arms when the sun goes down
Yeah I run this life on my own two feet
But I want you, I want you
Want you loving me
[Bridge]
I don’t need saving
I just need you
All of this aching
Has its own truth
You’re my one weakness
My favorite fight
I count your breaths
In the middle of the night (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the distance, tougher than the miles
I can carry my own weight, I can fake my own smile
Got a backbone of fire, and I don’t back down
But I still want your arms when the sun goes down
Yeah I run this life on my own two feet
But I want you, I want you
Want you loving me
