Your body is a map and I have red pins in my heart Who said distance is easy? When I cry rivers that I can't sail into your arms, my brain turns into a multifunctional machine to develop new ways of feeling less empty when I only hear your voice through my headphones. I think to myself, has this got no end? I only long for your sweet smile coming across me not separated by a screen and thousands of miles I only long for your arms as you cradle me, I as a small bird looking for warmth and peace I only long for what I already have but cannot seem to reach, like a vision, or a dream You are the bright stain that overlooks all the other dark parts in me Nature would bow in glory to how beautiful your soul is You are as far away as wishes upon a star and I am as hallow as the ones that fall I cannot contain the dreadful silence and the loneliness that comes after your voice is gone and I am left to face the world alone Tell me, has this got no end? Bruises around my heart that long to be cured by your hands are turning into a masterpiece What do you call it when you miss someone so much it hurts to remember their scent? What do you call it when you crave something you've never had to begin with? How can love be so painful yet so wonderful? I wonder if in years I will be smiling in your arms, kissing your beautiful lips or crying on my bathroom floor holding one of the only physical evidence that you once indeed existed Are you only in my head?

Distance kills.
Your body is a map and I have red pins in my heart Who said distance is easy? When I cry rivers that I can't sail into your arms, my brain turns into a multifunctional machine to develop new ways of feeling less empty when I only hear your voice through my headphones. I think to myself, has this got no end? I only long for your sweet smile coming across me not separated by a screen and thousands of miles I only long for your arms as you cradle me, I as a small bird looking for warmth and peace I only long for what I already have but cannot seem to reach, like a vision, or a dream You are the bright stain that overlooks all the other dark parts in me Nature would bow in glory to how beautiful your soul is You are as far away as wishes upon a star and I am as hallow as the ones that fall I cannot contain the dreadful silence and the loneliness that comes after your voice is gone and I am left to face the world alone Tell me, has this got no end? Bruises around my heart that long to be cured by your hands are turning into a masterpiece What do you call it when you miss someone so much it hurts to remember their scent? What do you call it when you crave something you've never had to begin with? How can love be so painful yet so wonderful? I wonder if in years I will be smiling in your arms, kissing your beautiful lips or crying on my bathroom floor holding one of the only physical evidence that you once indeed existed Are you only in my head?
