[Verse 1]
Left your mug in the cabinet
Cartoons paused on the TV stand
Tiny shoes by the front door still
Like you’re coming back to grab my hand
Talk to your photos in the hallway
Tell your jokes to an empty chair
Every bedtime story I start reading
I forget you’re not here to share
[Chorus]
I miss you bigger than the distance
Further than the road and the sky
Every little mile keeps stacking
But you’re still right here in my life
I close my eyes
I hear you laughing
Feel you running through this house again
You’re far away tonight
My darling
But you’re miles between my hands
[Verse 2]
Your jacket rides in the backseat
Seatbelt on like you’re still there
I drive slow past your old school
Wave at nothing
Like you’re in the air
You call me up about your homework
Weak signal
But your voice is bright
I say I’m fine
Then lose it after
When the screen goes dark at night
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One day you’ll run on your own time
Chase your dreams past the county sign
Just know this heart keeps the porch light on
Every night
Every night
Every night
[Chorus]
