1,000 years

memories running through my bloodstreams

i'm always just a bottle away from you

white fingers clinched around the pictures

clinched around the hope i'm holding to

and

i would wait a thousand years

just to hear you say my name again

just to hear it like you meant it that night we touched

and

i would wait a thousand more

just to find out what you left me for

just to find out

because i need to know now

these long days

you're nothing but a story i keep telling just to drown out that goodbye

i still see it

you're slamming that old front door

i never thought it'd really be goodbye

and

i would wait a thousand years

just to hear you say my name again

just to hear it like you meant it that night we touched

and

i would wait a thousand more

just to find out what you left me for

just to find out

because i need to know now

and

i'll drink till all my blood is filled with you

till the whiskey drowns my sorrow

and i'm not thinking about tomorrow

oh

whatever it takes to feel you again

to feel you again

and

i would wait a thousand years

just to hear you say my name again

just to hear it like you meant it that night we touched

and

i would wait a thousand more

just to find out what you left me for

just to find out

because i need to know now
