Lyrics

Mmmh… yeeeah…
Same moon, different hours…
You know the one…
It's morning where you are
You always forget to eat
Say you'll grab something later
Then you rush back to the street
I know that sound in your voice
When you say you're "good today"
That little pause you leave behind
When you don't know what to say
Mmmh…
I picture you at the window
Curtain half-drawn, light on your face
I touch the screen like it's your skin
Even though it's not the same
It's night where you are now
I know you won't fall asleep
You'll play that old reggae tune
Low volume, on repeat
You always say distance is "nothing"
But your laugh comes slower now
And I hear you breathe real deep
When the call's about to cut out
Mmmh…
I don't say I'm scared anymore
You already know that part
I just ask what you ate today
And hope you hear my heart
We don't talk about the days
Her:
When this thing feels too long
Both:
But we keep leaving the light on
Like that means something… yeah
We loving from two time zones
But the same slow heartbeat
Still saying "hold on"
Every time the week gets heavy
Mmmh…
This ain't the easy kind of love
But it's the honest one we chose
So we carry each other quietly
Where nobody else knows
I keep your hoodie on the chair
I don't move it, don't ask why
Some nights I talk to it like you
Just to get through the night
I remember how you get quiet
When something's wrong inside
How you lean your head on me
Without a single word, just sigh
Yeah…
I hold that memory steady
Like it's keeping me in place
'Cause loving you at a distance
Means living off yesterday
I sleep on your side of the bed
Even though you've never been
Feels less empty that way
Like you might walk in
I wear your chain under my shirt
When the day feels too loud
It reminds me I belong somewhere
Even when you're not around
Mmmh…
I don't need promises no more
I just need you the same
Still you… still choosing me
Even when nothing has changed
We don't say "forever" out loud
We just keep showing up
Letting patience do the talking
When love gets tough
We loving from two time zones
But the same slow heartbeat
Every mile between us
Still can't touch what we mean
Mmmh…
This ain't a movie kind of love
It's the staying kind, the true
And if waiting is the price
Then waiting's what we do
One day I won't have to imagine
Her:
One day I won't have to pretend
Both:
All these small surviving moments
Gonna make sense in the end
Yeah…
So we don't give up quietly
Even when the nights are long
We keep loving in pieces
Till the distance is gone
Mmmh…
Same moon, different hours
Still pulling us through
What we're building like this
Is gonna feel deep when it's new
Mmmh… yeeeah…
Same moon…
Different hours…
Still us…
