BURNING BRIDGES

hey everyone! i know there are hundreds of long distance songs out there, so i thought i would add mine to the mix! it's about being incredibly close friends with someone and growing up with them, and then having them suddenly move 8,151 miles away from you. not being able to see someone because they live across a giant ocean is often times, not glamorous or beautiful or romantic, it just sucks. long distance is staying up till 2am on a school night because they just woke up, it's crying on the phone with them constantly, it's being mad at each other for not picking up because you have so much to tell them, it's being in physical pain because of how much you miss them, etc. it's frustrating and hard and draining, but it is so worth it :) 

lyrics:
verse 1: We stay up till 2am, run out of things to say, you tell me it's fine but you still seem to cry
Static voices & telephone scars, we're falling to pieces in airport lights
I tell you I miss you, it's not enough, there's nothing glamorous about goodbyes...hello!

chorus: we went from braces to lipstick, lipstick to lip stains, heartache to heartbreakers
and you're a thousand miles away, I lay awake to keep me sane ohhhhh
The gaps in our teeth to the distance between us, these times zones are too big to breathe
my ribcage is falling, like sanity on bad days, but i know we'll be okay

verse 2: we're at war with the setting sun, cuz I know you'll be asleep when i wake up
lost in timezones and mobile phones, pink colored skies and dark nights, red eyes and screen lights
"hey I know it's like 6am where you are but i just wanted to say that i miss you so much i will probably drop dead in the next twenty seconds, i love you"

chorus again

we went from braces to lipstick, lipstick to lip stains, heartache to heartbreakers
and you're a thousand miles away, I lay awake to keep me sane ohhhhh
The gaps in our teeth to the distance between us, these times zones are too big to breathe
these highway signs are foreign, this house is not a home, but i know we'll be okay
