lyrics

all the miles between us, the gestures you don't make
the telephone apologies ring hollow
in the face of the past that you bring with you
it's heavy and it's long
and it don't bear repeating now so let's just drag it along

and yeah i know that you and i both know it
but waiting months to spend a weekend
is no way to in love

for crying out loud, we've been here before
we've covered this ground, we've settled the score
why do we keep on counting?

you think it'd be so easy, but it never is that way
the things that shouldn't matter
matter from far away
you could come up in november
you got those three days off
but all i'd do is think about how the next day
you'd be gone

if we're back at the start and do it over again
would it come out different, or the same at the end?
should we maybe have waited?
but there's no time for that now
it is what it is and so we gotta make it through somehow
until summer comes around

yeah i know we're trying
we talk four times a day
you tell me that you miss me but i ain't got much to say
now the daylight hours are fading
it'll frost tomorrow night
the trees have turned
without you here the colors don't seem bright
