You are far away

VERSE 1
The whiskey’s gone cold and the fire’s burned out
Just me and the ghosts in this house of doubt
I’m reaching across your side of the bed
But I’m touching the cold, empty silence instead
Three hundred miles? No, it feels like a lightyear
I’m shouting your name, but there’s nobody here.

PRE-CHORUS
The map says you’re close, just a state line away
But the static between us is all that will stay
I’m losing my grip, I’m losing the line...

CHORUS
God, you are far away! You are far away!
Like a star in the dirt, like a ghost in the gray!
I’m screaming at shadows, I’m begging the rain
But the distance is etched in the marrow of pain!
You’re breathing the air in a different town
While I’m in the basement just watching it burn down!
You are far... so far away!

VERSE 2
I saw your silhouette in a stranger today
Just a trick of the light before it faded to gray
Your perfume is clinging to the old denim jacket
My sanity’s breaking, I can’t seem to hack it
The clock on the wall is a hammer that beats
On the rhythm of lonely on these empty streets.

BRIDGE
Is it the miles? Or is it the heart?
Tell me the moment we drifted apart!
TELL ME THE MOMENT!
WHY ARE YOU SO FAR?!
You are far away!
You are far away!
You are far away!

OUTRO
So far...
Just a ghost in the gray.
