One Word Back

(Verse 1)
I’ve licked the envelopes,
Watched them come back unopened.
Your name stamped in red —
“Return to sender,” like you’re gone again.
I dial your number till my hands shake,
But all I get’s that hollow tone,
Like the world’s decided I don’t get to hear you anymore.

(Chorus)
Where are you tonight?
Are you safe, are you crying?
I’d tear down the miles if I only knew.
I’m losing my mind,
Every silence feels like dying,
And all I want is one word back from you.

(Verse 2)
Your brothers don’t know, mine just shake their heads,
Everyone’s worried but no one says what they dread.
I stare at the ceiling, beg God for a sign,
Tell me you’re breathing, just tell me you’re mine.

(Chorus)
Where are you tonight?
Are you safe, are you crying?
I’d tear down the miles if I only knew.
I’m losing my mind,
Every silence feels like dying,
And all I want is one word back from you.

(Bridge)
If I could break through this distance,
If I could crawl through the dark,
I’d carry you home in my arms.
But all I’ve got are letters that don’t land,
And a voice that shakes in the quiet.

(Chorus)
Where are you tonight?
Are you safe, are you crying?
I’d tear down the miles if I only knew.
I’m losing my mind,
Every silence feels like dying,
And all I want… is one word back from you.
