it's a long life without any others, with a whipping wind at your back
dust has collected on my covers, i've been waiting for you to come back
and i've been reckless, i haven't been sleeping
cause it hurts to see you in my dreams
and the distance i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories

we keep in contact but what's the motive?
what's the answer that you seek?
cause i have questions for every hour of the day but
you never answer me

it's easy to move on if you never stopped to look around in the first place
i am stunted, staring at your footprints
wishing you would've stopped with me

since there's nothing left for me to say
i think it's better if i go on my way
yeah

but the exits are never flawless
more an entrance to lonely nights
and though the moon's high, and the stars are shining thru clouds
i'm alone here in this field for the rest of my life

if you'd come back, we could start it over
get married one day, settle down
with the white fence, a 9-5 gig
find the love that was never around

and since there's nothing left for me to say
i think it's better if i go on my way
the distance that i feel isn't measured in miles
it's measured in memories

i believe there's love to be found

i believe in love

oh, the moon's high and the stars are staring at me
we're laying in a field side by side
i tried to reach you but you were miles from me
you were already lost in my eyes

so that night i lost my shot at the moon
cause i was busy counting stars
though you were only a few feet over
you had never been so far away
