Three Hours
Long-Distance Love: A Heart's Three-Hour Journey
Lyrics
This house is on it's head, it's hard to care
This house is chaotic, and it's difficult to feel concerned or attentive.
There's shadows underneath my eyes cause dreamless nights have been so rare
There are dark circles under my eyes due to the rarity of restful nights without dreams.
Since I left my heart on your driveway
Since I emotionally invested myself (left my heart) at your place.
You said you'd see me soon but we both know that I won't get there
Despite your assurance of seeing me soon, we both know it won't happen.
You took me by surprise
You surprised me.
I didn't think I'd fall this hard again
I didn't expect to fall deeply in love again.
You put a flicker back into my eyes
You reignited a spark in my eyes.
But these nights I just pillow talk to dirty clothes on your side of the bed
Now, I spend nights talking to the mess (dirty clothes) on your side of the bed.
Just tryna' get you out my head
I'm attempting to remove thoughts of you from my mind.
You left your hair over my bedsheets and your memory in my mind
Your presence lingers in my bed and my thoughts.
I'd drive to you a thousand times to say
I would travel repeatedly just to convey...
You didn't think we'd make it but I could've proved you wrong
You doubted our relationship's success, but I had the potential to prove you wrong.
I guess that's just what happens when you fall in love with girls that live three hours away
Loving someone living far away often leads to challenges.
Keep pouring triple shots, 'til I can't see
I keep drinking heavily until my vision blurs.
I've never been so comfy on the bathroom tiles
I find solace in unlikely places, like lying on the bathroom floor.
I understand, you said you needed room to breathe
I comprehend your need for space, but let's not exaggerate it by being too distant.
But let's not overdo it, take a couple hundred miles
Let's not extend the separation more than necessary.
You left your hair over my bedsheets and your memory in my mind
Reiteration of the lingering traces of you in my space and thoughts.
I'd drive to you a thousand times to say
Repeated desire to express something to you through multiple journeys.
You didn't think we'd make it but I could've proved you wrong
Reiteration of the potential to prove you wrong about our relationship.
I guess that's just what happens when you fall in love with girls that live three hours away
Reflection on the complications arising from loving someone distant.
So now I'm saving heaps on petrol and my schedule's always free
I'm saving money on fuel and have plenty of free time now.
But I struggle not to miss you right before I fall asleep
I struggle not to miss you before falling asleep.
Dancing with denial trying to make myself believe
Trying to deceive myself, refusing to accept the reality of our situation.
The numbers on the dial don't mean a goddamn thing to me
The phone numbers (possibly yours) don't hold significance to me anymore.
You left your hair over my bedsheets and your memory in my mind
Repeated indication of your lingering presence in my space and mind.
I'd drive to you a thousand times to say
Repeated desire to communicate something through multiple trips.
You left your hair over my bedsheets and your memory in my mind
Reiteration of your lingering presence in my space and mind.
I'd drive to you a thousand times to say
Reiterated desire to communicate something through multiple trips.
You didn't think we'd make it but I could've proved you wrong
Reiteration of the potential to prove you wrong about our relationship.
I guess that's just what happens when you fall in love with girls that live three hours away
Reflection on the challenges of loving someone distant.
Three hours away
Highlighting the geographical distance between me and the girls I love.
Girls that live three hours away
Reiteration of the geographical distance affecting relationships.
