Bigger Than the Distance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your coffee by the kitchen sink Like a little proof you still belong We say we're fine, then stop and think And let the silence last too long I know the corners of your face The ones you hide when you feel afraid I know I can't erase Every careless word I've ever made [Pre-Chorus] Still, when the whole room turns against us You reach for me without a sound We are the mess we keep returning to The only place we both are found [Chorus] I love you bigger than the distance Bigger than the damage we have done Even when our hands become resistance Even when we forget we're on one side I would choose you through the breaking Through the nights we barely make it through This is not an easy kind of saving But I keep coming back to you [Verse 2] Your coat is hanging on the second chair You said you'd pack it weeks ago We trade our pride like debts we cannot bear Then miss each other when you go There are days I want a simpler life One where nothing cuts this deep But I'd lose the way you say my name And every promise you still keep [Pre-Chorus] So if the morning finds us restless If we are tired of being brave Put your hand inside my open one And meet me halfway from the grave [Chorus] I love you bigger than the distance Bigger than the damage we have done Even when our hands become resistance Even when we forget we're on one side I would choose you through the breaking Through the nights we barely make it through This is not an easy kind of saving But I keep coming back to you [Bridge] Maybe love is not a clean horizon Maybe it is learning where to stand You don't have to promise me forever Just don't let go before I can If we fall, we'll tell the truth beneath us If we bend, we'll bend but not divide I am scared of all the ways to lose you More scared of living with the lie [Final Chorus] I love you bigger than the distance Bigger than the damage we have done Even when our hands become resistance I still believe we are not done I will choose you through the breaking Through the nights we barely make it through This is not an easy kind of saving But I keep coming back to you [Outro] Your coffee waits beside the kitchen sink And your hand is reaching out to mine We don't have to know what happens next Just stay with me tonight
