Your voice on my phone, is the only sound I trust
In this bedroom full of silence and settling dust
The ticking of my watch is a thief of my time
While I'm tracing your face in this digital shrine.
My mind is a riot, a storm in a cage
And some days I'm stuck on the very same page
But then the screen glows and I see your eyes
And the heavy grey clouds start to leave my skies.
I'm hundreds of miles from the touch of your hand
But you're the only one who can help me stand
When the wires in my head get tangled and tight
You're the soft steady light to make everything alright,
Yeah the distance is cruel and the silence is loud
But I'd walk through the fire just to make you proud
I'm a broken man, but I'm yours to keep
I love you more than the ocean is deep.
Some mornings the weight is too much to move
And I lose the rhythm, I lose the groove
I open the blinds and let in the fear
But you speak to me like you're standing right here.
You don't ask for perfect, you don't ask for gold
Just a heart that is honest and a hand you can hold
Through the panic and static, through the "not okay"
You're the reason I'm fighting to find a new day.
I'm hundreds of miles from the touch of your hand
But you're the only one who can help me stand
When the wires in my head get tangled and tight
You're the soft steady light to make everything alright,
Yeah the distance is cruel and the silence is loud
But I'd walk through the fire just to make you proud
I'm a broken man, but I'm yours to keep
I love you more than the ocean is deep.
It's a long distance war with the ghosts in my brain
And sometimes it's hard to just dull the pain
But every "I love you" you send through the air
Is a bridge that I'm building to get myself there.
