[Verse 1: Brendan Lukens]
I can’t help thinkin' about you this whole ride home
From Alberta, Portland, to wherever I’ll soon unfold
Into oblivion or somewhere between here and fact...
Forever waiting for you, ever-aching, 'cause I’m...

[Bridge: Brendan Lukens]
Well, I'm longing for when I’ll be coming back
To you

[Verse 2: Brendan Lukens]
Hopeless, I’m fadin', it’s the same damn thing every night
Planning our future without you—without me at times
But hey, I digress, what I was saying before is more important...

[Bridge: Brendan Lukens]
Well, I'm longing for when I’ll be coming back
To you

[Chorus: Brendan Lukens]
Why does it take two thousand miles
For me to say, “I love you”?
(Why does it take two thousand miles)
Burn Out by day, Lover by night
(For me to say, “I love you”?)
I’m not the same as I was, but that’s cool, whatever
(Why does it take two thousand miles)
Burned out by days without you
(For me to say, “I love you”?)
I’m lost, forlorn, I can’t do this alone
[Coda: Brendan Lukens]
I feel safe, still with you
I’m safe, intact and hopeful
We’ll make it together
We'll make it together
