Mile by Mile

[Verse 1] I knew your laugh by the phone line I knew your porch from the rain Saw your porch light from two states over Like a small fire in the gray I kept your name in the glovebox Next to maps and old road dust Every mile made me want you Every night made me trust [Pre-Chorus] That love can wait in the dark Like a letter in the sleeve Some hearts don’t need a shortcut They just need time to breathe [Chorus] Mile by mile, I was yours Mile by mile, I held on Now I’m here at your front door And the long road’s finally gone Mile by mile, now I know What my heart was running toward I moved to you Now I’m in your arms And I’m yours [Verse 2] I rented a little apartment On the edge of your town Hung my boots by your hallway Let my old life settle down You opened the door in the morning Hair still tangled, barefoot and warm I forgot every lonely winter When you let me in your arms [Pre-Chorus] All that distance was a promise All that waiting was a song Now your hands are on my shoulders And I knew it all along [Chorus] Mile by mile, I was yours Mile by mile, I held on Now I’m here at your front door And the long road’s finally gone Mile by mile, now I know What my heart was running toward I moved to you Now I’m in your arms And I’m yours [Bridge] No more midnight gas station coffee No more tracing you in dreams Now your face is right beside me Closer than it ever seemed I don’t need another map now I don’t need another sign I found home in your two hands When your mouth met mine [Chorus] Mile by mile, I was yours Mile by mile, I held on Now I’m here at your front door And the long road’s finally gone Mile by mile, now I know What my heart was running toward I moved to you Now I’m in your arms And I’m yours
