[Intro]
A quiet pulse under streetlights, a clock that never sleeps
I whisper your name to the rain, it keeps every secret we keep
[Verse 1]
The night hums low, like a lullaby I can’t finish
Footsteps echoing past memories, a map of what I’m missing
Your silhouette lingers in the corners of my mind
I reach for you in shadows where the colors fade to night
[Pre-Chorus]
If distance is a weather, I’m trapped in its cold front
Every mile a page torn out of a love I can’t report
[Chorus]
I’m counting the seconds until you’re here again, closer than before
Heartbeat notes drift through the window, begging for a shore
In the quiet, I hear your voice, a whisper I can’t ignore
longing grows in the night, till you walk back through that door
[Verse 2]
Murky blue of dawn leaks through blinds, I pretend I’m okay
But the hands of time keep turning, pulling you farther away
I keep your words tucked in the pocket of my weathered coat
Reading them by lamplight, you’re the line I won’t let go
[Pre-Chorus]
If distance is a weather, I’m soaked in its cold front
Every mile a page torn out of a love I can’t report
[Chorus]
I’m counting the seconds until you’re here again, closer than before
Heartbeat notes drift through the window, begging for a shore
In the quiet, I hear your voice, a whisper I can’t ignore
longing grows in the night, till you walk back through that door
[Bridge]
Maybe in the dark, I’ll meet you where the yearning ends
Where the hours bend like dancers, and forgiveness slowly mends
[Chorus]
I’m counting the seconds until you’re here again, closer than before
Heartbeat notes drift through the window, begging for a shore
In the quiet, I hear your voice, a whisper I can’t ignore
longing grows in the night, till you walk back through that door
[Outro]
Until then I keep the night as a companion, patient and true
Waiting with the moon to remind me, I’m still missing you
