[Verse 1: Male] Your boots are by a doorway two counties from mine I count the miles like fence posts, one at a time Got your picture on the dash, your laugh in my phone But a screen ain't a hand when I'm sleeping alone [Verse 2: Female] I keep your flannel on the chair beside my bed Smell of pine and campfire still caught in the thread When the evening settles quiet on this little place I reach across the pillow wishing for your face [Pre-Chorus: Both] But every mile is only borrowed time Till your headlights find this gravel drive [Chorus: Both] When we're together, it's a fairytale kind of real River water running, got the whole world standing still You pull me close, I forget what lonely knows Fireworks in the soul everywhere your touch goes With a cold beer, bourbon and Coke, under a blanket full of stars Back-road dust and wild game tracks, no matter where we are I miss you like a heartbeat when you're gone from me But together, baby, we're exactly where we're meant to be [Verse 3: Male] We chase a sunrise through the timber, coffee in a tin Cast a line where the bend gets deep and let the quiet in Looking for a whitetail moving through the cedar shade Or a campsite by the water where the best memories get made [Verse 4: Female] You turn the radio up, that Revelation 3:16 sound Two-step with me barefoot while the moon hangs down Your hand finds mine, then my waist, then we lose track of time Every little spark between us feels like a holy sign [Pre-Chorus: Both] So let the highway stretch and separate our days It can't put out the blaze it only makes [Chorus: Both] When we're together, it's a fairytale kind of real River water running, got the whole world standing still You pull me close, I forget what lonely knows Fireworks in the soul everywhere your touch goes With a cold beer, bourbon and Coke, under a blanket full of stars Back-road dust and wild game tracks, no matter where we are I miss you like a heartbeat when you're gone from me But together, baby, we're exactly where we're meant to be [Bridge: Female] I don't need a castle, just your jacket on my shoulders A little fire by the river when the night gets colder [Bridge: Male] I don't need forever written fancy on a page Just your lips against mine when I finally make it your way [Bridge: Both] And if the distance is the price for every night we steal I'll pay it, baby, every time, for something this real [Final Chorus: Both] When we're together, it's a fairytale kind of real River water running, got the whole world standing still You pull me close, I forget what lonely knows Fireworks in the soul everywhere your touch goes With a cold beer, bourbon and Coke, under a blanket full of stars Back-road dust and wild game tracks, no matter where we are I miss you like a heartbeat, but come running back to me Together, baby, we're exactly where we're meant to be [Outro: Both] Down by the river, your hand in mine Two hearts, one fire, making up for lost time Wherever you are, that's where I want to be Come home, come close, come back to me
