If Miles Could Bend

[Verse 1]
Your blue sweater hangs beside the door
The sleeves still hold the shape you wore
I count the ferry lights from shore
And save the things I meant to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Your voice arrives through a tired line
A little late, but still all mine

[Chorus]
If miles could bend, I’d bring you near
Across the water, through the years
I keep your name where my heart can hear
Love holds its place when you’re not here

[Verse 2]
The cup you left is chipped in blue
I set it out like I used to do
The morning bus rolls out of view
While your last postcard warms my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
You say the season’s turning soon
I watch the tide beneath the moon

[Chorus]
If miles could bend, I’d bring you near
Across the water, through the years
I keep your name where my heart can hear
Love holds its place when you’re not here

[Bridge]
When every road feels twice as long
I read your letters, line by line
And though the days pull us apart
You’re still the home I carry inside

[Final Chorus]
If miles could bend, I’d bring you near
Across the water, through the years
I keep your name where my heart can hear
Love holds its place when you’re not here
So when the harbor comes in view
I’ll cross the distance back to you

[Outro]
I’ll cross the distance back to you
