Miles Between Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your coffee cup still sits by the sink I keep it there like you're gonna blink Your raincoat hangs on the back porch nail Still smells like home and the postmark trail I got your note folded in my jeans Your lipstick mark on the county magazine The dog runs circles when the mail truck goes by Like he can hear you in the sky [Pre-Chorus] And I count the days on the kitchen wall One for each time I hear you call This little house gets awful quiet When the line cuts out and the night gets by it [Chorus] Miles between us, miles between us But your name still fits my tongue Miles between us, miles between us Still holding on Still holding on (holding on) [Verse 2] Friday nights, I drive past the grain silo Windows down, just to feel the cold Your voice comes through in a choppy rain Says "baby, save me a place again" I got two shirts in the cedar chest Yours on top of the one I kept Every time I miss you, I let that door swing wide Like you're walking in from the other side [Pre-Chorus] And I count the days on the kitchen wall One for each time I hear you call This little house gets awful quiet When the line cuts out and the night gets by it [Chorus] Miles between us, miles between us But your name still fits my tongue Miles between us, miles between us Still holding on Still holding on (holding on) [Bridge] If this old road keeps us apart I'll meet you where the map runs dark Send me your storms, send me your tears I'll be right here through the years [Chorus] Miles between us, miles between us But your name still fits my tongue Miles between us, miles between us Still holding on Still holding on (holding on)
