Miles Away

If time could rewind, that's the first thing I'd do

Now I bathe in the sound of echoes of you

I'd canvas the sea just to know what you knew

Wanna feel everything you've ever been through

You're so far from me I can honestly say

I'm longing for you, not just memories of you miles away

If I could stop time, that's the last thing I'd do

Your absence so loud I could still see your face
