1871 Miles

As the sun comes up on another day
It falls through my blinds but i turn away
i'm not ready to leave this place im dreaming of

It's an overpass underneath a sky
There's no real traffic besides you and i
And that's the way that i'd like it to stay

All's soft and silent on the interstate
The warm moonlight fades on your face
It carries me through your eyes into some deeper place

In through your mind 
And to your heart
I'm loving all i've seen so far
You're everything i could ever need
On this long trip
On subsconscious
You'll keep lights shining as i go
All the way from here to Idaho

As the sun lays down for another night
I follow the lead and close my eyes
I'm ready for that place i've been dreaming of

I wont let this chance pass me by
To head to a place where it's you and I
And thats the place i'd like for us to stay

All's soft and silent on the interstate
The dry night air warms this place
It carries me through your breath into some deeper place

In through your lungs
And to your heart
I'm loving all i've seen so far
You're everything i could ever need
On this long trip
On subsconscious
You'll keep me smiling as i go
All the way from here to Idaho

It's a long trip
But its worth miles
and it is worth the pain
its takes to bring me to your face
Cant you see that 
Consciously and constantly i need you
yeah... consciously and constantly i need you
Oh can't you see, cant you see i love you

In through your mind 
And to your heart
I'm loving all i've seen so far
You're everything i could ever need
On this long trip
On subsconscious
You'll keep the lights shining as i go
All the way from here to Idaho
