I heard your voice down the wire From a hotel room in Colorado We talked for hours It changed our lives from different points in time And as I drove across the Midwest Our husked down memories in the rearview Looking forward to the next time I could be close to you We're starting at the finish line Turn away, say, "I've arrived" You're always on my mind 'Cause I miss you as I don't want you to go Thinking back about our home in marble countries What's it like for you? How's your day? I don't mean to be pedantic I'm hopeless, but maybe romantic I can't escape the feeling That distance is growing We're starting at the finish line Turn away, say, "I've arrived" You're always on my mind 'Cause I miss you as I don't want you to go We're starting at the finish line Turn away, say, "I've arrived" You're always on my mind 'Cause I miss you as I don't want you to go We're starting at the finish line Turn away, say, "I've arrived" You're always on my mind 'Cause I miss you as I don't want you to go
