Medicine

[Intro] [Verse 1] Long distance teaches hearts to ache in silence Teaches nights to stretch like they don’t end Screens replace the warmth of your eyelids Voice notes pretending they can mend I memorize the freckles on your laughter Through pixels freezing mid-smile Every second without you gets heavier Like breathing underwater for miles [Pre-Chorus] They say time makes the heart grow stronger But time just makes the nights grow colder I keep replaying memories on repeat Like they’re the only cure I hold closer [Chorus] Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch They’re medicine running through my veins And lately I’ve been missing you too much I’m calling your name through the pain If love is healing, then I’m barely alive Counting days like prescriptions I need Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch And baby… I’m sick without your heartbeat [Verse 2] I wear your hoodie like it’s armor Against the loneliness inside Your scent is fading from the fabric But I still hold it every night We plan our future like it’s certain Two souls drawing maps in the dark Tracing roads that lead to forever With your name tattooed on my heart [Pre-Chorus 2] They say distance is just an illusion But illusions don’t keep me warm If loving you is my only solution Then I’m lost in the sweetest storm [Chorus] Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch They’re medicine running through my veins And lately I’ve been missing you too much I’m calling your name through the pain If love is healing, then I’m barely alive Counting days like prescriptions I need Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch And baby… I’m sick without your heartbeat [Bridge] If airports measured how much hearts can break Mine would collapse under every goodbye If wishes traveled faster than airplanes I’d be asleep in your arms tonight Doctors can’t fix this diagnosis No pill can replace your kiss You’re the only cure I’m holding onto The only remedy I miss [Breakdown / Soft Drop] Send me a hug through the sky tonight Wrap it in stars and satellite light Tell the moon to deliver it right Before my lonely fades into night [Final Chorus – Bigger / Emotional] Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch They’re medicine running through my veins And I’ve been missing you more than words can hold More than melodies explain If love is healing, then bring me back to life Be the miracle I believe Long distance teaches hugs are not just touch And baby… I’m sick until you’re here with me [Outro] So if you feel a heartbeat in your sleep tonight That’s mine traveling across the skies Sending medicine through the stars Until distance finally says goodbye
