From 280 Miles Away

The Monday morning's outside of school

The Tuesday's sitting in rockband

The Wednesday's we'd sit in the park

The Thursday night's at McDonald's (because the workers are best on that night)

The Friday's baking away in the kitchen

The Saturday's at two in the morning

And the Sunday's when I say "I can' wait to do it all again"

But from 280 miles away, I can't do that anymore.

It's the driving 20 minutes to my house to give me a hug 

It's the calls at night making sure I got home safe

It's you promising me that tomorrow would always be better, no matter what my demons told me

From 280 miles away, my demons have started to have more say in my life than I do.

But 280 miles away hasn't stopped you from trying

From 280 miles away, I still get your phone calls

I still get your warm embrace from your jacket

I still get to stay up and worry if you are sleeping well

I still get to bake the things I know you love

I still get the reminder that my demons mean nothing compared to your love

Because I love you, 280 miles away doesn't seem so bad afterall. 

At 280 miles away, everyone can see that we can handle my demons together

No matter how far apart.
