Ankle deep in snow and you’re a thousand miles away,
I miss you already and it’s only been three days.
You left just in time to escape this madness I call home,
But you’ve been there with me through the simplicity of my phone.

Knee deep in this storm and you’re still a thousand miles distant,
Trying to occupy my time, missing you stays consistent.
I know I’ll see you later, though I sort of need you now,
But patiently I wait for you to return to this silent town.

Waist deep in this blizzard and a thousand miles is too far,
Once you miss someone, everything seems to become hard.
I know things will be easier once you make it back
It’s just that tolerance is something I’m beginning to lack.

Ankle deep in snow and you’re a thousand miles away,
I’ll wait for what seems like forever, but it’s really only ten days.
