Verse 1
It’s not the same through a phone line
Your laugh feels colder through the air
And I can’t stop the thoughts that find me
When I reach for you and you’re not there
I’m counting days, I’m losing sleep
Ten hours of road between you and me
I’d give it all, I’d give my skin
Just to feel your breath again
Pre-Chorus
I swear I’m trying, but I keep breaking
And the more I fight, the more I’m shaking
Chorus
I can’t stop the storm inside my head
It’s louder when I’m lying in this bed
I love you more than I can say
But my heart won’t let the fear fade away
I’d tear myself apart for you
If it meant I could come back brand new
But I’m still lost, and I can’t prove
What’s true when I’m ten hours from you
Verse 2
You never gave me a reason to doubt
But my scars keep dragging it out
And it’s hard to trust what I can’t touch
When the distance feels like too much
I see your eyes in my mistakes
I hear your name in every break
And I hate that you’re the one who pays
For the ghosts I can’t erase
Pre-Chorus
I’m still here, but I’m still bleeding
And the miles make it harder for healing
Chorus
I can’t stop the storm inside my head
It’s louder when I’m lying in this bed
I love you more than I can say
But my heart won’t let the fear fade away
I’d tear myself apart for you
If it meant I could come back brand new
But I’m still lost, and I can’t prove
What’s true when I’m ten hours from you
Bridge (soft then building)
Maybe one day I’ll find the cure
And I’ll be the man you’re waiting for
But tonight it’s just my voice and static
And a love that’s beautiful, but tragic
Final Chorus (big, desperate vocals)
I can’t stop the storm inside my head
It’s louder when I’m lying in this bed
I love you more than I can say
But my heart won’t let the fear fade away
I’d tear myself apart for you
If it meant I could come back brand new
But I’m still lost, and I can’t prove
What’s true when I’m ten hours from you
Outro (soft, broken)
Ten hours away…
Still yours, always yours…
