Stuck in the places we're at.......

I sit all alone with only my thoughts,
watching a blank screen
as I pray that you'll be coming on,
waiting by the phone every night
at the time you normally call
hoping just to hear your voice again tonight.

Life feels so hollow
without you here by my side,
with you is where I belong
and this distance is killing me slowly,
I hate the miles that separate us
but right now we're stuck where we are.

Stuck in the places we're at,
not where we want to be,
in this long distance relationship
with only pictures to hold at night
to feel just a little closer to the one we love,
stroking your cheek through the glass
instead of your skin.

Caught up in the world
and stuck in a nightmare,
not where we had seen ourselves by now,
the nights get so long and cold
and the days seem impossible sometimes,
praying the distance will melt away.

The minutes seem like hours
and the hours seem like days
as slowly the time apart passes,
so slowly it's killing me,
I just can't help but cry
as I think of you baby.

Praying to find the strength to keep fighting
for this love that means more than anything
but the distance hurts so much
as the days keep passing us by,
sometimes it seems like things will never change,
those are the days that hurt the most.

Stuck in the places we're at,
not where we want to be,
in this long distance relationship
with only pictures to hold at night
to feel just a little closer to the one we love,
stroking your cheek through the glass
instead of your skin.

I'll wait for you as long as it takes,
you're worth any and everything to me,
hearing your voice across the distance
is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
but it doesn't relieve the pain
that I still can't touch you.
