A Thousand Miles of Maybe

Lyrics

Verse 1
A thousand miles away
Staring out a dusty window seat
Counting every wave
Over dark and restless seas
Crossing over names
On a map I never meant to read
All this weight I carry
Just to feel you breathe

Chorus
I crossed the water
Crossed the war
Crossed that line I feared before
Every headline said I might not make it through
With every border
Every night
I held your face inside my mind
If I survive this
I survive for you
I walked a thousand miles of maybe
Just to be reunited with you

Verse 2
Sirens in the dark
Echo off the broken concrete walls
Smoke above the cars
People running
Trying not to fall
Every time I hear
Someone shouting
I just say your name
Like a little prayer
Against the fire and rain

Chorus
I crossed the water
Crossed the war
Crossed that line I feared before
Every headline said I might not make it through
With every border
Every night
I held your face inside my mind
If I survive this
I survive for you
I walked a thousand miles of maybe
Just to be reunited with you

Bridge
If this is it
Let the last thing that I do
Be one more step
One more step
One more step toward you (oh)
If this is it
Let the last breath that I lose
Carry your name
Carry your name
Till I come home to you

Chorus
I crossed the water
Crossed the war
Crossed that line I feared before
Every headline said I might not make it through
With every border
Every night
I held your face inside my mind
If I survive this
I survive for you
I walked a thousand miles of maybe
Just to be reunited with you
