So Near Yet So Far
Two people have grown close before meeting, and neither wants to spoil it by rushing or saying more than they mean. It sits in that unusual space where someone already feels familiar, even though you have not yet stood in the same room.
Lyrics
Just a little time on a calendar grid
Feels like twenty years of things we did
Just two miles down the same dark road
While the rest of life carries its heavy load
My phone lights up, the room goes quiet
And the whole world stops for a second or two
So near yet so far tonight
Holding steady, keeping it light
It’s a strange kind of magic, a quiet surprise
How well I know you through distant eyes
When the day comes to finally stand in the room
It won't be a storm, just where we belong
I’m just glad my days started crossing with you
We’re both a little nervous of the weight of this
Afraid that moving fast could put it all at risk
I already know the warmth of your hand
Without even stepping onto that land
Knowing when we finally take that step
It’s simply finding where we’re meant to be
So near yet so far tonight
Holding steady, keeping it light
It’s a strange kind of magic, a quiet surprise
How well I know you through distant eyes
When the day comes to finally stand in the room
It won't be a storm, just where we belong
I’m just glad my days started crossing with you
