We swore we'd talk every day
The morning that I packed up and drove away
Your laugh reminded me of home
But a laugh is not the same

When it's over the phone
We were running on empty
The calls barely helping
It's maddening how distance can make feelings strained

All those miles apart
Left us scared from the start
What had once felt so happy felt strange
Each second made a melody
Minutes formed symphonies
The months that we shared
Filled with wonderful memories
All that we had turned to all we had lost

I'm just the kid that you loved
When the timing was off
I saw your mom at the store
I put on a smile and then I went for the door
'Cause I heard you found someone new

And I am not nearly as happy as I was with you
We were running on empty
The calls barely helping
It's maddening how distance can make feelings strained

All those miles apart
Left us scared from the start
What had once felt so happy felt strange
Each second made a melody
Minutes formed symphonies
The months that we shared
Filled with wonderful memories

All that we had turned to all we had lost
I'm just the kid that you loved
When the timing was off
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm just the kid that you loved
