Far Away, Getting Closer

[Verse 1]
Lately my spirit been shifting
I don’t move the way I did
Talking softer to my shadow
Calling truce with the kid I was
Scrolling through the past at midnight
All the times I made you small
Now I’m circling back to center
Trying to answer every call
[Chorus]
I feel your spirit from far away
Like a light on in another state
I close my eyes and it’s in my face
Telling me, “You can change, you can change”
I feel your energy in my veins
Every hard truth, every growing pain
I’m not the same as yesterday
Far away
But I’m getting closer
[Verse 2]
Thoughts keep racing like they’re chasing
Every fear I never named
But your patience like a blanket
Lays itself over my shame
I still mess up, still get reckless
Still say things I wanna take back
But I’m slowing down the damage
Learning how to love like that
[Chorus]
I feel your spirit from far away
Like a light on in another state
I close my eyes and it’s in my face
Telling me, “You can change, you can change”
I feel your energy in my veins
Every hard truth, every growing pain
I’m not the same as yesterday
Far away
But I’m getting closer
[Bridge]
I’ve been praying in the silence (yeah)
Talking honest in the mirror
Every flaw that I’ve been hiding
You keep pulling it nearer
If the distance is a lesson
I’m gonna take it to heart
You’re the voice inside the question
That’s tearing me apart
[Chorus]
I feel your spirit from far away
Like a light on in another state
I close my eyes and it’s in my face
Telling me, “You can change, you can change” (you can change)
I feel your energy in my veins
Every hard truth, every growing pain
I’m not the same as yesterday
Far away
But I’m getting closer (getting closer)
Far away
But I’m getting closer (oh yeah)

pop, Glossy midtempo pop with male vocals, airy synth pads and a warm pulsing bass, finger-snaps in the verses and big claps in the hook. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and subtle guitars; chorus blossoms with stacked harmonies and bright top-line. Bridge strips back to vocal and pad, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and a lifted key feel.
