Want You Here

Your city’s waking while mine fades to black, Two different skies, same lonely moon. I hear your voice through a river of static, And the silence comes flooding back too soon. I keep your picture lit beside my bed, Like a lighthouse cutting through the dark, But a photograph can’t hold me together When I’m falling apart. Chorus Cause I want you here, not miles away, Not trapped inside a screen. I want your hand tangled up in mine, Not somewhere I can’t reach. Every night feels colder than the last, Every dream just pulls me through. What do you do when your whole heart lives In a place you can’t get to? Verse 2 I count down days like they’re drops of rain Sliding slow down broken glass. Everybody says, “distance makes love stronger,” But they never say how long it lasts. I miss the things we’ve never even done, Late drives and leaning on your shoulder, Building little memories together Instead of growing older apart. Chorus Cause I want you here, not miles away, Not trapped inside a screen. I want your laugh filling up this room, Not echoes chasing me. Every night feels heavier somehow, Like the stars forgot to move. What do you do when your whole heart lives In a place you can’t get to? Bridge And maybe someday these highways end, Maybe planes and prayers align, Maybe I’ll finally stop pretending That hearing your voice is enough sometimes. Final Chorus I want you here, close enough to touch, Close enough to finally breathe. No more goodnight through glowing wires, No more “someday” haunting me. Till then I’ll keep this fire alive, Even when the world feels cruel. Cause loving you from far away Still feels better than loving anyone here
