Miles Between Our Hands

We tried to hold on through the distance

Whispers fading over midnight calls

Your shadow's living in my silence

But I can't reach through the walls

Time zones turning lovers into ghosts

Every heartbeat echoes what we lost

Miles between our hands

Falling like the sand

Every word we said just disappears

Miles between our eyes

Breaking all the ties

I can't pretend we'll make it through the years

Your voice still lingers on my pillow

But the warmth has faded into grey

I trace the map, but every shadow

Leads me further, far away

Time zones turning lovers into ghosts

Every heartbeat echoes what we lost

Miles between our hands

Falling like the sand

Every word we said just disappears

Miles between our eyes

Breaking all the ties

I can't pretend we'll make it through the years

No flights, no trains can bring you near

The silence grows, it's all I hear

We were burning, now it's only smoke

Letting go was the only hope

Miles between our hands

Scattered in the sand

Every promise fades into the night

Miles between our eyes

No more alibis

We were close but never held on tight
