You're far away tonight
Haven't seen you in a while
It always feels like a climb
On this never ending hill

And I keep saying wait just one more day
But days slowly drift away
And I can hold to the memories
But they won't hold me in the same way, as you

And this distance between us has come and cut us clean as
A sharp blade
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as
Silk that's frayed

And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around

I feel empty my eyes are closed
It's getting dark and I'm alone
And I sleep next to my window
In case you decide to come home

And I keep saying wait just one more day
But days slowly drift away
The memories I have begin to fade
'Cause you're so far away

This distance between us has come and cut us clean as
A sharp blade
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as
Silk that's frayed

And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around

And I can only stay
One more day
It's like waiting on the rain
In a warm summer haze

And this distance between us has come and cut us clean as
A sharp blade
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as
Silk that's frayed

And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya, now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around, now
