If He Swears He Loves You, He's Lying

And there's all these miles in between us and i keep asking myself why.
why are you the only one, and the only one so far away?
you can't see me when i cry, you can't catch me when i fall.
you can't hold my hand as we're walking down the crowded streets
like you did that day.

the most you can do is call, saying i love you like you mean it
just before we hang up the phone.
those three hour conversations hold no comfort
when i'm lying in bed at night seeing you in my dreams.
you might be dreaming about me too
but with those big cities and small towns between us
i can't feel you anywhere.

and we're promising each other
but we can't keep those promises;
and i'm missing you so much.
i wish i could tell you to come home
but this isn't your home and you are home...
its just so far away.

i'm sitting next to the phone, waiting for it to ring
so i can hear that voice that always
sends shivers down my spine.
but maybe you won't call, because maybe...
i really don't matter at all.

this distance makes me so skeptical
because you say all these things but for all i know
you're rolling your eyes on the other end
crossing your fingers behind your back.
cross my heart and hope to die....
or maybe you're just lying.

but either way, i'm going to wait for that phone to ring
because if you call it could mean forever.
or it could just be tonight, maybe tomorrow too...
but that's enough to keep me holding on.

even with all these miles between us, i know
that you're the only one and i'm willing to wait forever for you.
that i love you before the click of the receiver means more to me
then any i love you ever has, so say it one more time
loud and clear.

let me keep believing that you aren't loving someone else.
