Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I watched your back door close
Like winter on my skin
Your key still in my palm
Where your warm hand had been
I kept the house too quiet
Kept your side of the bed
And every little thing I touched
Spoke the words we never said
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be your harbor
But the waves came through my name
I held on with both hands
Still I lost you just the same
[Chorus]
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
If love could have made me enough
You would have stayed, you would have stayed
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
And I will, and I will
Till my last breath fades away
[Verse 2]
Now your jacket’s on the chair
And the rain taps at the glass
I hear your laugh in strangers
Then it slips away too fast
I tell myself you’re sleeping
Under some kinder sky
But truth sits heavy in the dark
And makes me cry inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be your harbor
But the waves came through my name
I held on with both hands
Still I lost you just the same
[Chorus]
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
If love could have made me enough
You would have stayed, you would have stayed
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
And I will, and I will
Till my last breath fades away
[Bridge]
Go on and live the life you deserved
Go where the sky can hold your hurt
I’ll be the echo under your skin
The girl who loved you, then let you in
[Final Chorus]
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
If love could have made me enough
You would have stayed, you would have stayed
I loved you from afar
I loved you from afar
And I will, and I will
Always, though you’re far away

Ethereal rock ballad with female vocals, slow 6/8 sway, fingerpicked electric guitar over hazy pads and tom swells; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks, chorus blooms into wide drums and doubled lead vocal. Bridge drops to sparse guitar and distant vocal sighs, then final chorus lifts with shimmering reverb tails and a soft string drone. Airy, widescreen, and aching with a clean emotional mix., vocal, sad, ballad, rock
