The Long Way

I missed kissing you on your birthday
It should be a national holiday
I wish I was with you today
Ooo

The back and forth wasn′t our plan
I know it's hard to understand
But you know it′s out of our hands for now

I pass the time just to get by
Before we get on the phone
Every night just you and I
It's all that I know

I'll hold on to long conversations
When we′re both in different places
Going through all of our phases
FaceTiming I love your face and
I really hate the long-distance
It′s been too long oh I'm missing
You counting every minute
I know it′s hard but we'll make it
The long way

The anticipation gets me going
I′ll be in your arms before I know it
Stay in your bedroom and ignoring
Anything else (yeah)
'Cause a moment with you is a lifetime
Worth every tear and every goodbye
Worth every mile on 15 hour flights

I pass the time just to get by
Before we get on the phone
Every night just you and I
It′s all that I know

I'll hold on to long conversations
When we're both in different places
Going through all of our phases
FaceTiming I love your face and
I really hate the long distance
It′s been too long oh I′m missing
You counting every minute
I know it's hard but we′ll make it
The long way

Distance it makes, makes the heart grow fonder
All of the ways, love it really conquers
Timing and space, hold on a little longer
And wait...
