Story Behind The Song

I was a singer-songwriter playing clubs around Virginia while she was in graduate school at Penn State for over 3 years. We ended up together despite the distance.

Song Description

Across the miles, you want her to know that you can't wait to see her again.

Lyrics

ItÂ?s four oÂ?clock in the morning wishing I was here with you
three hundred miles between us and not much I can do
so weÂ?re taking it day by day hoping the dream turns real
Wish that I could buy a ticket to take me where I feel

Chorus 1
Then suddenly itÂ?s just like it was before
the distance doesnÂ?t matter anymore
weÂ?re closing all the doors to a frantic life
and lying down beside you is dancing in our own sweet mellow time

Verse 2
I donÂ?t know and I donÂ?t care if I really make it
I only know I really need you there either way it goes
I donÂ?t think success would really be if it was without you
and if iÂ?m gonna be a poor man the very same thing is true

Chorus 2
Then we turn around and walk out on our lives
and go another way in time
thatÂ?s where we will find what weÂ?re looking for
every step I take with you is leading me to love you that much more

Bridge
three months passing by, I feel about half alive
weÂ?re holding on to a dream while life keeps passing by

Verse 3
Just looking in your eyes I see more than a future
I can see beyond the lines, the truth feels so secure

Chorus 3
Then suddenly, itÂ?s just like it was before
the distance doesnÂ?t matter anymore
weÂ?re closing all the doors to a frantic life
and lying down beside you is dancing in our own sweet mellow time
