Verse 1 I know I’ve been gone for a couple months, Chasing fire till the daylight comes. Long nights, hard roads, miles between, Living out there in that smoke and heat. And I know you’ve been waiting on me, Missing my voice, missing what we could be. I never meant to leave you feeling alone, When all I wanted was to be coming home. Pre-Chorus I know saying “I miss you” Ain’t enough anymore, You don't need another phone call, You need me walking through your door. Chorus Michelle, I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, Sorry for the nights you had to miss me alone. I know this distance makes it harder than it should, And I know you just want some time Together like we should. So when I finally get some time away, I wanna make up for every lonely day. We’ll go hunting, get lost somewhere under those stars, Then Mexico, just the two of us, No matter how far. Baby, I don’t need much when I’m with you, Just a little time and a whole lot of us to make up for lost time. Verse 2 You know this fire life is part of who I am, You know I’ll always go when they need a hand. But that doesn't mean I don't think about you Every morning when that sky turns blue. When I'm driving back down that long fire road, I start thinking about the places we could go. About your smile and that look in your eyes, And how damn good it'd feel To have you by my side. Pre-Chorus You’ve been patient, you’ve been strong, While I’ve been gone and gone. But girl, I hear you loud and clear— You don't want another phone call, You just want me there. Chorus Michelle, I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, Sorry for the nights you had to miss me alone. I know this distance makes it harder than it should, And I know you just want some time Together like we should. So when I finally get some time away, I wanna make up for every lonely day. We’ll go hunting, get lost somewhere under those stars, Then Mexico, just the two of us, No matter how far. Baby, I don’t need much when I’m with you, Just a little time and a whole lot of us to make up for lost time. Bridge Someday I hope the miles between us Aren’t measured on a map. No more counting down the days Till I can finally have you back. But until that day comes, I’ll keep holding on, Because every mile between us Is one mile closer to coming home. Final Chorus Michelle, I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, I’m sorry if I made you feel like you were on your own. You deserve more than a voice through a phone, You deserve my arms around you, You deserve me coming home. So let's go hunting, baby, Let's chase those mountain skies, Let's find a little beach in Mexico And leave the whole damn world behind. No smoke in the sky, no fire calling my name, Just your hand in mine, and nothing standing in our way. No miles between us, No lonely nights apart, Just you and me together, Making up for lost time with all our hearts. Outro And when the next fire calls my name, I’ll go do what I’ve always done. But when that season finally fades away, Michelle, you’ll be the first place I’m running to. 'Cause I can chase that fire anywhere… But I’d rather be chasing forever with you.
