"pictures from afar" lyrics

You're a million miles away

Weekends turn to months apart
Now I'm sleeping when you're just waking up
And now I'm wondering what you're doing where you are
And I'm so guilty 'cause I'm not there

If you think I'm fine without you, that I'm ok alone
I carry the lessons that you gave me everywhere I go
I wish you could fill the missing pieces, that you'd be at my shows
I know it hurts you more to tell me that you will

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
I'm still the person that you wanted me to be
I wanna hold you and tell you that you are not alone
For now I know you'll watch me through a screen
But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar

Sand's coming down
And I'm waiting for a shooting star to cross the sky
I don't believe it but I have to try

Light in the sky, do you know me by now?
I'll simply hope that you'll hear me somehow
Crying alone, tell me you're coming home
I know it hurts you more to tell me that you are

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
I'm still the person that you wanted me to be
I wanna hold you and tell you that you are not alone
For now I know you'll watch me through a screen (I know you'll watch me)
But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar

Some days I cry
Some days I'm hurtin'
But you're a million miles away
So I'll keep waiting

Some days I cry
Some days I'm hurtin'
But you're a million miles away
So I'll keep waiting

Some days I cry
Some days I'm hurtin'
But you're a million miles away

So I'll send you pictures and videos
Just to let you know
Now I'm the person that you wanted me to be
I wanna hold you and tell you that you are not alone
For now I know you'll watch me through a screen
But I'm wishing on a star
That you won't be needing pictures from afar
