Next To Me

Three am pacific time and we're both awake Try to regain all this time we've lost and forget about the ache With every word that falls in my ears my heart feels the weight Of the distance all this time provides to add to our pain And oh my dear These late nights and whispers make you feel so near to me Across the miles that are in between us But words in the air will never quite compare to having you next to me Three pm mountain time and I miss that northwest air Running through it with your hand in mine like we don't have a care I've seen every part of this country and none of it compares To the sun reflecting in your eyes and the wind in your hair And oh my dear These late nights and whispers make you feel so near to me Across the miles that are in between us But words in the air will never quite compare to having you next to me And across these miles I feel your heart in sync with mine With every beat I know we'll be alright And absence makes the heart grow stronger So every moment away adds to our forever As I stumble on back your face is all I see I'll reach out and pull you close to me And oh my dear Those late nights and whispers made you feel so near to me Across the miles that were in between No more words in the air No more miles of despair No more late nights spent up wanting you near And every steadfast moment has brought us here Now you're next to me Eight am pacific time and we're both awake
