Here's to recollection,
to memories and thoughts
my only salvation whilst out on the road
and it's so far,
the distance between
won't show where I'm going
just where I have been
it shows me just where I have been

I'll look for the house with the lights on
at three in the morning,
I know that you'll be awake waiting
I'm so far away
and I'm trying to keep on reminding myself
that you'll be awake
waiting for me

Cue the conversations cut short by the phone,
whilst counting down days,
make me realise,
I'm so far from home
and the distance between.
won't show where I'm going
just where I have been
I'm so far, I'm so far away
and the distance that lies in between,
shows me just where I have been

Lying awake with the lights on,
you're so far away
and it's three in the morning
I'm counting down days 'til
you're coming back home,
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I feel so alone

I know that it's hard
and it feels like forever away,
we've been here before
and I know that we'll be here again
it's taking its toll but I swear that this won't be the end
we've been here before
and I don't want to be here again,
I'm so far away
but I know you'll be waiting for me
I know you'll be waiting
I know you'll be waiting for me
