The Long Way

I missed kissing you on your birthday
 It should be a national holiday
 I wish I was with you today
 Ooo
 The back and forth wasn't our plan
 I know it's hard to understand
 But you know it's out of our hands for now
 I pass the time just to get by
 Before we get on the phone
 Every night just you and I
 It's all that I know
 I'll hold on to long conversations
 When we're both in different places
 Going through all of our phases
 FaceTiming I love your face and
 I really hate the long-distance
 It's been too long oh I'm missing
 You counting every minute
 I know it's hard but we'll make it
 The long way
 The anticipation gets me going
 I'll be in your arms before I know it
 Stay in your bedroom and ignoring
 Anything else (yeah)
 'Cause a moment with you is a lifetime
 Worth every tear and every goodbye
 Worth every mile on 15 hour flights
 I pass the time just to get by
 Before we get on the phone
 Every night just you and I
 It's all that I know
 I'll hold on to long conversations
 When we're both in different places
 Going through all of our phases
 FaceTiming I love your face and
 I really hate the long distance
 It's been too long oh I'm missing
 You counting every minute
 I know it's hard but we'll make it
 The long way
 Distance it makes, makes the heart grow fonder
 All of the ways, love it really conquers
 Timing and space, hold on a little longer
 And wait...
 Hold on to long conversations
 When we're both in different places
 Going through all of our phases
 FaceTiming I love your face
 I really hate the long distance
 It's been too long oh I'm missing
 You counting every minute
 I know it's hard but we'll make it
 The long way
 Distance it makes, makes the heart grow fonder
 All of the ways, love it really conquers
 Timing and space, hold on a little longer
