Tonight you're distant like the shooting stars we used to search for,
Too far away for me to fix this, and now ignoring you is all I can do
To dull the aching in my chest that is the first side effect of you.
North Carolina never used to cross my mind before we met,
But now no matter what my every thought leads me back to you,
And yet, in my dreams I sweep you off your feet and you believe me
When I say forever.
