about

Long distance sucks. It's a lot of late nights, phone calls, and "I miss you"s, often without an end in sight. I wrote Sky Harbor after dropping Nick off at the airport for the first time (and maybe the last time while we're living in different cities, thanks to the pandemic); it was late April or early May, I was missing him badly, and one night, the words just showed up all at once. The next time I saw him, we recorded this together, sitting on his couch with our legs squished together, squeezing each other's hands to make sure our unison lines were together. It's still my go-to listen when it's been a little too long since I last saw him.

lyrics

I miss you the most when I'm here. Standing at the curb, duffel in hand, promising, "it won't be so long next time." And, for a minute, I mean it; and, for a split second, I believe it. But we both know it's never that easy. And you grab your duffel. And you disappear through security. And I miss you.

I miss you the most when I'm here. Lying in bed, phone in hand, promising, "soon, love. Soon." And, for a minute, I imagine it's true; and, for a minute, I can feel you beside me. But we both know it's never that simple. And I say my goodnights to an empty room. And I put my phone back on the charger. And I miss you.

I miss you the most when I'm here. Standing in line, boarding pass in hand, promising, "I can't wait to see you." And, for a minute, I hear your smile through the phone, because sometimes, the countdown does hit zero. And I hang up, because it's finally time. "Now boarding for Sky Harbor...."
