Sound Waves

Those Carolina eyes

Kept me up at night

They were always looking in a direction that wasn't mine

And though I tried

Just a few thousand times

You could never see past those state lines

But did you even try?

I fell in love with the sound waves of your voice

It's how I heard it through all the other noise

If it wasn't for the miles, would I be your choice?

But I lost you and my mind in between our points

Those surface-level late-night conversations

Only showed me what didn't need to be my foundation

Two separate screens

A thousand miles between

I can't count on you so I'll count sheep

You said that this wasn't worth the risk to you

But I was to me

I fell in love with the sound waves of your voice

It's how I heard it throw all the other noise

If it wasn't for the miles, would I be your choice?

But I lost you and my mind in between our points

I fell in love with the sound waves of your voice

And every single song that you sang

If it wasn't for the miles, would I be your choice?

You were right, Charlotte is too far away

I always wondered how well you slept at night

Without me on your mind
