[Verse 1]
You had salt in your hair
Sun in your laugh
Talking ‘bout waves and
Double shifts past
I was jet-lagged quiet
Far from my town
Folding up fears while
You were clocking out
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the small talk turned into stories
You painted oceans
I traced foreign cities
Different worlds
Same tired eyes
Same aching feet
Same closing time
[Chorus]
We built a home from miles of memories
From beachy sands to my faraway streets
You pour the red
I kill the TV
Italian wine and your head on me
Every border faded in your light
Two old souls in a brand new life
Yeah
We built a home from miles of memories
Till miles felt like keys on the same set of keys (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Uniform nights
Name tags and scars
You kept a shell from
Your favorite bar
I kept a photo
Creased at the edge
We traded pieces
Right there by the desk
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the small things turned into always
You said my name like you’d known it for ages
Different faiths
Same quiet prayers
Same chipped cups
Same kitchen chair
[Chorus]
We built a home from miles of memories
From beachy sands to my faraway streets
You pour the red
I kill the TV
Italian wine and your hand on me
Every border faded in your light
Two old souls in a brand new life
Yeah
We built a home from miles of memories
Till miles felt like pages in our family story
[Bridge]
Now the fridge is full of photos
Sand in jars and boarding passes
Your surfboard by my suitcase
Both our names on broken glasses
All the distance in our past
Living proof that it won’t last
When you’re lying on my chest
Whispering
“This feels like the place.”
[Chorus]
We built a home from miles of memories
From beachy sands to my faraway streets
You pour the red
I dim the TV
Italian wine and your breath on me
Every border faded in your light
Two old souls in a brand new life
Yeah
We built a home from miles of memories
Turned miles into “stay here”
Turned miles into “we”
