Verse 1: Marchitect
We're like the Bluenote Band got Miles between us
Like the distance, for instance, when we ride to Venus
Or Mars the stars that guide us, tend to lead us
Back to each other never lying like a cheetah
Or running with them foul cats dodging the hyenas
Getting gas by the gallon while you buy it by the liters
I measure it in miles you convert it to kilometers
You never got to sweat it because you know that it will be there
Waiting right for you by the time you get back
But right now, you're on the other side of the map
Like the sharp part of the push pin
It leaves a hole in my heart it leaves it pushed in
Yeah
Chorus
Promise me you'll never
Go away and ever leave me
(x2)
Verse 2: Jas Mace
What a time it was for you and I to fall in love
11 hundred miles plus 1
We talk every night but that's not kosher (nah)
I reminisce of times when we were closer (yeah)
When I could hold you pressed close to mine
But I find that long distance makes us stronger in the mind
Allows us to appreciate what's really great (yeah)
A bond so tight that a visa can't break (nah)
And I'll do what it takes to make this union work
Like the UAW I know it might hurt sometimes
But what a feeling when I first touch down
Then see your face in the crowd it's like wow (wow)
You make me so proud but as soon as it starts it's like it ends
As I'm heading back home again
Cause time flies when your heart is on track (yeah)
Before the flight back we embrace as she asks me
Chorus
Promise me you'll never
Go away and ever leave me
Verse 3: Jas Mace
Now this is for the lovers that had to separate (for y'all)
Due to job relocations or college graduations (uh huh)
Or even vacations where you two first met (first met)
But what's meant to be shall be so don't fret
Verse 4: Marchitect
Like an upright bass they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder through the pains and the aches
Planes, trains you take across countries and states
To come and see your player as I patiently wait
Chorus
Promise me you'll never
Go away and ever leave me
(x2)
