A Distant Kinda Country

Your lips speak prayers  
But your eyes play with fire        
And I don't know if our story will ever be told        
But I know there's a story        
From the first time I saw you        
I knew  
And I knew you knew        
That glance
Soft
Trailing fire        
       
If there's wrong in this  
The wrong is mine        
Wrong to everything but truth        
You're my heart's piercing        
Stumbling words around feelings        
Worlds apart but here
Now        
As if we've always known        
...And haven't we      
       
No denials        
No promises        
Just distance        
Country miles
And the trying to find bridges        
With pieces that won't fit  
Except when we're together      
And you look at me      
Blue into my hazel      
And nothing else matters
