1,000 Years

Memories running through my bloodstreams
I’m always just a bottle away from you
White fingers clenched around the pictures
Clenched 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
Memories running through my bloodstreams
I’m always just a bottle away from you
