Lyin' here with a memory in my hands
You’re not here, but I feel you where I am
Every mile between us, just a pause in time
'Cause loving you, baby, is a rhythm in my mind
I play our laughs like vinyl in my head
Every smile, every word you ever said
I reach for your warmth through this midnight air
It’s quiet here, but I swear you’re everywhere
[Chorus]
You’re closer than the miles, closer than the pain
Even in the silence, I still hear your name
You're the missing beat in my chest, the reason I breathe
And I’d wait a thousand nights just to feel you next to me
You make my world less simple, but more alive
And loving you, baby, is the reason I survive
Closer than the miles, baby… you're still mine
[Verse 2]
I shut down some feelings just to stay strong
Thought maybe you'd forget if I held on too long
But love like this doesn’t fade, it just hides
And now you're coming home, and I can't fight the tide
The thrill of your touch is flooding back in
Like Christmas morning under my skin
I never stopped loving, just slowed the sound
Now I’m ready to turn it all back up loud
[Chorus]
You’re closer than the miles, closer than the pain
Even in the silence, I still hear your name
You're the missing beat in my chest, the reason I breathe
And I’d wait a thousand nights just to feel you next to me
You make my world less simple, but more alive
And loving you, baby, is the reason I survive
Closer than the miles, baby… you're still mine
[Bridge]
You’re the scent I miss on empty sheets
The quiet voice in crowded streets
You’re the “home” I never had to find
Just waiting on the day you're finally mine
[Final Chorus]
You’re closer than the miles, closer than the pain
Even in the distance, love still remains
I’ll hold your hand again, feel that spark revive
You’re the forever I’ve been keeping alive
You make my world less simple, but more divine
And I’ll keep loving you past space, past time
Closer than the miles, baby…
You’ve always been mine
