Long roads and radio static
Streetlights fading behind
Packed up the silence
Left nothing to find
Every mile's a filter
Your voice going dim
Maps full of blank space
Where you used to begin
I mark every exit
Count down the towns
Promising myself
I won't turn around
Air's getting colder
I'm starting to breathe
Maybe this absence
Is just what I need
Distance
Keeping me safe
Every mile erases your face
Getting closer to letting you go
Further away from the ache I know
Distance
Got you out of my head
Finally free of the words you said
Crossing the lines, changing the view
Convincing myself I'm done with you
Left all your traces
Locked in the house
Pages unwritten
Burned with the doubts
Wind in the rear-view
Sweeps you away
Miles of forgetting
At the end of each day
Bags getting lighter
Night coming fast
I tell myself
You're already past
Street signs are clearer
The radio's new
Driving this distance
Away from you
Distance
Keeping me safe
Every mile erases your face
Getting closer to letting you go
Further away from the ache I know
Distance
Got you out of my head
Finally free of the words you said
Crossing the lines, changing the view
Convincing myself I'm done with you
Northbound and hopeful
Empty with pride
Filling the silence
With nowhere to hide
Speeding through memories
Nothing to miss
I'm almost believing
It ends like this
Distance
Keeping me safe
Every mile erases your face
Getting closer to letting you go
Further away from the ache I know
Distance
Got you out of my head
Finally free of the words you said
Crossing the lines, changing the view
Almost convinced I'm done with you
Distance
Keeping me safe
Every mile erases your face
Getting closer to letting you go
Further away from the ache I know
Distance
Got you out of my head
Finally free of the words you said
Crossing the lines, changing the view
Almost convinced I'm done with you
(but what if you're still there...)
(what if I'm never through...)
