Miles Don’t Mean a Thing

[Verse 1]

She said it like a weather report

Casual voice on a midnight call

“Distance don’t scare me at all”

But my chest went tight

Went small

You were talking about somebody

Far away on a different shore

I laughed like it didn’t touch me

But your words walked through my door

[Chorus]

If miles don’t mean a thing

Why does your echo ring

All through my Monday morning

All through my tired skin

If time won’t change your heart

Why am I torn apart

By a sentence on a screen

So casually

It felt like you were talking straight to me

[Verse 2]

You said love is a quiet test

Showing up when the shine wears off

Letters

Calls

The empty bed

Choosing “stay” when it’s hard to talk

I pictured you at your window

Head tilted like you always do

Telling some other story

But every line traced back to you

[Chorus]

If miles don’t mean a thing

Why does your echo ring

All through my Tuesday coffee

All through the crowded train

If time won’t change your heart

Why am I split in parts

By a sentence on a screen

So easily

It felt like you were talking straight to me (to me)

[Bridge]

Maybe you don’t see it

Maybe I’m just reading between

But every word you gave to him

Fell heavy on me

You said

“If it’s real

It survives”

You said

“If it fades

Let it be”

And I answered

“Yeah

You’re right”

While praying you still meant me

[Chorus]

If miles don’t mean a thing

Why does your echo ring

All through my empty kitchen

All through the dark TV

If time won’t change your heart

Tell me I’m still a part

Of the future that you said so easily

When it felt like you were talking straight to me

(straight to me)
