One Minute Away

[Verse 1]
Phone light fading in my hand
You say "goodnight," I say it back
But I’m staring at your name
Like you’re miles I can’t unpack
Every second that you’re quiet
Feels like thunder in my chest
I’m counting down in circles
Til I hear your voice again
[Chorus]
I can’t go one minute without talking to you
Soon as the call ends I’m missing you, too
Hang up and my heart starts reaching
Like it’s ringing straight for you
Yeah, I’m so in love it scares me
But it’s the sweetest kind of truth
I can’t go one minute, one minute
Without talking to you
[Verse 2]
Friends say I’ve been acting different
Smile wider when you’re on
I lose track of every sunset
Chasing you across the phone
You say "I should get some sleep"
I agree, but that’s a lie
‘Cause I’m lying there replaying
Every laugh, every goodbye
[Chorus]
I can’t go one minute without talking to you
Soon as the call ends I’m missing you, too
Hang up and my heart starts reaching
Like it’s ringing straight for you
Yeah, I’m so in love it scares me
But it’s the sweetest kind of truth
I can’t go one minute, one minute
Without talking to you
[Bridge]
Guess I’m really, really gone, girl
Guess my heart picked you and ran
If this is what attached feels like
I don’t want it to ever end
[Chorus]
I can’t go one minute without talking to you
Soon as the call ends I’m missing you, too
Hang up and my heart starts reaching
Like it’s ringing straight for you
Yeah, I’m so in love it scares me
And it all comes back to you
I can’t go one minute, one minute
I just can’t go one minute
Without talking to you

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic strums and soft kick. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus lifts with airy pedal steel, simple piano fills, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Subtle build into a slightly bigger final chorus, then ease back to just guitar and voice on the last line.
