Sleep Well Tonight × Spoken

I’m sending this letter to you
in hopes that it finds you well
I wanted to say I love and I miss you
I pray that you sleep well tonight
I hope you dream of me
I’ll write again tomorrow
I’ll be home soon
I’m a million miles away from you
I can’t get you off my mind

Not that I’m trying but
All I want is to hold you again
Sleep well tonight
All these miles that stand
between us get shorter everyday
I’m calling to say I love you and I miss you
I can see the city skyline
I’m not that far away
I pull into the driveway and I see you

A World Away × Spoken

I’ve been here before trying
to put my feelings into words
It just doesn’t work
Feels like I’ve been gone forever
It seems it’s been so long
Since I’ve heard your voice
I need you here with me
So much it’s hard for me to breath
I’ve been gone far too long to face today alone
I try to think of another time
When I have felt this way

But nothing comes to mind
I feel I am a world away
There’s so much distance between us
I need your touch
To see your smile
To sing to you
To hear your voice
To touch your hair
To make you laugh
To talk to you
To hold you close
But I’m a world away

Dumb Reminders × No Use For A Name.

i heard the message
then i rang it off the hook
i didn't get you till 1 am
who was wrong and who was right
and this distance caused a fight
now i'm ready to give in

honestly
i'd give anything
to be with you
right now

this town is full of dumb reminders
having a good time can't you tell
hang up the phone and then i come back down
miss you i hope you're doing well

i'm used to waiting
what's a voice without a face
i think i'm dying without you here
so i drink myself to sleep
and then i hide beneath the sheet
and i try to disappear

i get up
every single time
cuz you keep me
alive

this town is full of dumb reminders
how far ahead from you in miles
if i could get one time as take it down
maybe then i could see you

this town is full of dumb reminders
having a good time can't you tell
hang up the phone and then i come back down
miss you i hope you're doing well

Living In Your Letters × Dashboard Confessional

I'm always assuming the worst,
but you're going on none the less
& there's nothing to cusion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home.
And there's something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes.

Pouring over photographs.
I'm living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you & I can't be
without that scent. It's filling me
with all you mean to me.

Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me nonetheless
& you won't let me sink
though I'm beggin you.
Phone calls from further away
& messages on my machine,
but I don't ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever
& so do you and I.

So I'll hit the pavement
it's gotta be better than waiting
& pushing you far away
cause I'm scared.
So I'll take my chances
& head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten

Miles Apart × Yellowcard

If I could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the world behind
And make believe there's something left to find

We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart

Now we've all grown up, gone on and moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard
Looking back it all just seems so far, so far away

We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart

I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you

I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you

I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I'd give it up for just one more day with you

We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart

I need you now, we're miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart

Letters To You × Finch

Can't you see that I want to be there with open arms?
It's empty tonight, and I'm all alone
Get me through this one

Do you notice I'm gone?
"Where do you run to, so far away?"

I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so

I'm writing again
These letters to you, aren't much I know
But I'm not sleeping, and you're not here
The thought stops my heart

Do you notice I'm gone?
"Where do you run to, so far away?"

I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so

No more looking, I've found her

I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you
I miss you so

I'm gone away
I'm gona away

Farewell To Friends - Matchbook Romance

A pictures worth a thousand words
But not worth the words I need to hear
I miss you so much that it hurts
And tonight, I wish you were here with me
So I could make you see
The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly
They remind me of
All the times, when we used to sit underneath on those summer nights
And fall in love

Its not alright, it's our last night together
I won't give up, I can't let go, of you.
I can't let go of you.

And tonight, I close my eyes and dream that she
is still the one, laying there beside me
I'd walk a thousand miles
I'd swim across the sea
What do I have to do, please just tell me
