The Long Way

[Verse]
I missed kissing you on your birthday
It should be a national holiday
I wish I was with you today

The back and forth wasn’t our plan
I know it’s hard to understand
But you know it’s outta our hands for now

[PreChorus]
I pass the time just to get by
Before we get on the phone
Every night just you and I
It’s all that I know

[Chorus]
I’ll hold on to long conversations
When we’re both in different places
Going through all of our phases
FaceTiming I love your face and
I really hate the long distance
It’s been too long oh I’m missing
You counting every minute
I know that it’s hard but we’ll make it
The long way

[Verse]
The anticipation gets me going
I’ll be in your arms before I know it
Stay in your bedroom and ignoring
Anything else (yeah)
‘Cause a moment with you is a lifetime
Worth every tear and every goodbye
Worth every mile on 15 hour flights

[PreChorus]
I pass the time just to get by
Before we get on the phone
Every night just you and I
It’s all that I know

[Chorus]
I’ll hold on to long conversations
When we’re both in different places
Going through all of our phases
FaceTiming I love your face and
I really hate the long distance
It’s been too long oh I’m missing
You counting every minute
I know that it’s hard but we’ll make it
The long way

[Bridge]
Oh distance it makes, makes the heart go fonder
All of the ways, love it really conquers
Timing and space, hold on a little longer
And wait…

[Breakdown]
Hold on to long conversations
When we’re both in different places
Going through all of our phases
FaceTiming I love your face

[Outro]
I really hate the long distance
It’s been too long oh I’m missing
You counting every minute
I know that it’s hard but we’ll make it
The long way

The long way (x4)
