7 Miles Wide - Sofia Talvik

The rift in our bed is seven miles wide

though I see you as though you were here right beside

I’m trying to reach out but it’s just in my mind

my body’s too tense and too stiff to unwind

The rift in our bed is seven miles deep

the edges are sharp and the walls are so steep

and if I could throw myself out like a dove

could the peace that I offer ever substitute love

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay

Punishing you is harder on me

though it’s double the torture that you don’t even se

that the rift in our bed is seven miles wide

and I’m on the edge and have been for a while

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay

I’ve nothing to cry for but I’m crying inside

as the rift moves you farther away from my side

I want to reach out but I’m just too darn proud

will you build me a and I will come around

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay

I know you care

I know you still want me here

in the morning

by your side

when it’s dawning

And I will share

all that I feel

if you hold me till the morning baby

we can carry each other one more day

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay

Finally your breathing is heavy and deep

you didn’t bother and now you’re asleep

And I’m still awake with a rift in my heart

but if I could speak now

where would I start

Maybe I’d say there’s a rift in out bed

or maybe the rift is just in my head

I know if you’d tell me I’d know what to say

and you’d hold me and make all the pain go away

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay

So hold on for the night for the day

hold on for the night will not stay
