Miles To Your Door

[Verse 1]
Screen glow on your tired face
You laugh, then the call cuts out
I’m talkin’ to a timezone, baby
Sayin’ “one more year” like a broken record now
I trace your name in the frost on glass
Flights in my tabs that I can’t quite book
Every “goodnight” got me askin’ why
The pillow’s here, but your side’s still overlooked
[Chorus]
All these miles to your door
I don’t wanna count them anymore
I’m done with loving through a phone
I just wanna call you home
No more waiting at the gate
No more counting down the days
When I’m in your arms for sure
There’ll be no more miles to your door (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You send me photos of your morning sky
I send you sunsets from my side
Our days overlap like a mixtape, babe
Different tracks but the same old ride
We got plans in a shared notes app
Baby names and an old house key
Every “someday” that we text in caps
I swear it’s carving out a street for me
[Chorus]
All these miles to your door
I don’t wanna count them anymore
I’m done with loving through a phone
I just wanna call you home
No more waiting at the gate
No more counting down the days
When I’m in your arms for sure
There’ll be no more miles to your door (hey)
[Bridge]
Suitcase open on the bedroom floor
One last message, “I’m on my way”
Every second feels like something more
Every heartbeat sayin’ “this time stay”
When I land and you’re there, eyes wide
World goes quiet in the airport light
Every lonely call, every sleepless night
Was a road we paved to this first kiss right
[Chorus]
All these miles to your door
I don’t wanna count them anymore
I’m done with loving through a phone
I just wanna call you home
No more waiting at the gate
No more counting down the days
When I’m in your arms for sure
There’ll be no more miles to your door
There’ll be no more miles to your door (ooh)
Just forever on your floor, by your side, evermore
