[Verse 1]
He waves from the porch
I’m stuck at the gate
We talk about weather
Not the way I wait
He laughs at my stories
Never sees the line
Where coffee in the kitchen
Turns to wishing he was mine
[Chorus]
He’s just too far out of reach
For him to love me
Like a name you almost say
Then it slips back in your teeth
I’m right here on his shoulder
He’s dreaming past my street
He’s just too far
Too far out of reach
[Verse 2]
I fix his collar
Before his Friday nights
He checks his reflection
I blink back the light
He’s chasing a promise
Somewhere down the road
I’m holding the puzzle
He’s missing that I’m the home
[Chorus]
He’s just too far out of reach
For him to love me
Like a song stuck in his head
That he never lets repeat
I’m right here at his table
He’s talking in his sleep
He’s just too far
Too far out of reach
[Bridge]
If I stepped a little closer (mm)
Would he finally see
Or would he call me “friend” again
And break the rest of me
[Chorus]
He’s just too far out of reach
For him to love me
Like a letter never sent
That I keep tucked in my sleeve
I’m right here in his orbit
He’s staring past my heat
He’s just too far
Too far out of reach
Yeah
He’s just too far
Too far out of reach
