One thousand miles

one thousand miles
three hundred days
since a midnight dinner
can't decide
should we fuck or fight
fall in love tonight?
ultimately unfinished
undecided
and so distant again
coward's safety in absence
but forever in dreams

one thousand miles
ten thousand dreams
an ocean beside us
infinite satellites above
three hundred days
ever-present pain
should have said
what i said
when you couldn't hear

in midnight's courage
and daylight's hope
a one-way trip this time
one thousand miles
i'll take my chance
that we still have a chance
now, forever and always.
