Lyrics
We stand so far apart
Your hands hold themselves over there
There’s 3 little words in our hearts
Hanging quiet in the air
Sometimes, you grumble at me
Saying, “You know what annoys me?
It’s that you do not do
The things you should do.
Tell me, am I wrong?”
And this hardness you hide in your sorrow
Lets me know I’m loved to the bone
Every night, I feel your pulse shining
Like headlights across every mile
And I hate every year that divides us
I want to slice them up like pie
And sometimes, you sparkle at me
Saying, “You know what’s amazing?
I missed your face.
I missed your smile.
I’ll stay right here for awhile.”
That surprise that shines through your sorrow
Lets me know I’m loved to the bone
Will we conquer this divide?
Some things can’t be denied
There are things we don’t say
But we have our hiding place
And sometimes, you do harp on me
Saying, “Hey, it ain’t easy
To watch you not do
Things to take care of you.
Please prove me wrong.”
That unbridled fear in your tone
Lets me know I’m loved to the bone
