Miles From Our Little Holiday

[Verse 1]
You were standin' by the suitcase line
Sunburnt nose and a crooked smile
I said, "You lost or just like wanderin'?"
You laughed, "Been lost for a long, long while"
Cheap hotel with the faded curtains
Stayed up 'til the sunrise bled
Two room keys on the nightstand
One pillow, your head on my chest
[Chorus]
Now we're miles from our little holiday
But my heart's still there with you
Talkin' every night 'til the break of day
'Bout the someday we run to
Every call, every laugh, every "how was your day?"
Pulls you closer when you can't stay
Yeah our hearts keep growin' anyway
Miles from our little holiday
[Verse 2]
You send pictures of your front porch swing
I send mine of this downtown view
We compare our cups of mornin' coffee
Sayin' "wish this one was poured for two"
Calendar with circles 'round weekends
Countin' down 'til that one-way flight
You say, "Baby, it ain't easy"
I say, "We're gonna be all right"
[Chorus]
'Cause we're miles from our little holiday
But my heart's still there with you
Talkin' every night 'til the break of day
'Bout the someday we run to
Every call, every laugh, every "how was your day?"
Pulls you closer when you can't stay
Yeah our hearts keep growin' anyway
Miles from our little holiday
[Bridge]
Some folks say it fades with distance
Guess they've never heard you say my name (oh yeah)
Every "goodnight" feels like a promise
Every "miss you" fans that flame
[Chorus]
So if we're miles from our little holiday
I don't mind this in-between
'Cause we're buildin' up a whole life, baby
From your town to mine on this small phone screen
Every call, every laugh, every "how was your day?"
Is a step on the road to the same last name
Yeah our hearts keep growin' every day
Miles from our little holiday

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic guitar and soft brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and story-focused, light pedal steel in the background. Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, subtle piano, and a steady kick. Final chorus lifts with an extra harmony line and a small tambourine shimmer.
