Distant on My Side

Staring through this dusty window. Taxi trails in crooked lines. Your name glowing on my phone screen fades before I can reply. You're a distant lover in my life. But I keep you on my side. Like a jacket in July. Just in case the weather slides. You're a distant lover out of sight. Still you flicker in my mind. If you're looking for a light. You can call me anytime, anytime. Laughing at a joke from last year. Talking to the empty room. I can hear your keys in hallways. Wrong apartment, same old tune. You're a distant lover in my life. But I keep you on my side. Like a jacket in July. Just in case the weather slides. You're a distant lover out of sight. Still you flicker in my mind. If you're looking for a light. You can call me anytime, oh, anytime.
