A Thousand Miles Away

You should move here
Get a job here
It's the best State
You already, mostly
Speak the language
So us meeting must be fate
So what's a little distance
When I'm feeling things like this
It's just a thousand miles away

I think you might be jumping just
A little far ahead
It's something like an eight hour flight
That's five thousand miles instead
But what's a little distance
When you're feeling things like this
Oh it's just a thousand miles away

I'm pretty sure it's crazy thinking this (Crazy thinking this)
But then I find I'm planning out next trip (Planning our next trip)
He buys the flights without a second thought
And every day I wake up buzzing
Counting down the days
'Til I see you again

You should move here
Get a transfer
What do you say?
It will be much easier
If we do it this way

My friends are here
Well mine are here
My family, my life
I've got a house
A stable job

Well that's all very nice
But your career is established
Rather than right back at the start
If I don't stay here
What's the point of all the time
Invested in my art?

They make films here
Yes that's true
Lots of films here
Yes but still...
So what's a little distance
When I'm feeling things like this?
It's just a thousand miles away

You're asking me to give up
All the things that I have
Well why can't you?

It's just a thousand miles
Yes, it's just a thousand miles away
