Distant Memory

Verse 1

In the quiet, I still feel you breathe,

Your shadow stretching, reaching out for me.

You linger in the silence, but you never stay,

A love half-written, always slips away.

Pre-Chorus

You haunt me like a photograph,

Edges burned, a broken past.

Closer in the dark you seem,

But daylight makes it just a dream.

Chorus

I see you are craving me,

But you will always be…

A distant memory.

A fire I can’t revive,

A love that won’t survive,

You’re fading endlessly…

Just a distant memory.

Verse 2

Your voice still trembles in the cracks of time,

Every word you whispered was never really mine.

I reach for what was never meant to stay,

And lose you all over again each day.

Pre-Chorus

You haunt me like a melody,

Notes that ache inside of me.

A song of love, a silhouette,

The kind of pain I can’t forget.

Chorus

I see you are craving me,

But you will always be…

A distant memory.

A fire I can’t revive,

A love that won’t survive,

You’re fading endlessly…

Just a distant memory.

Bridge (big lift, strings swelling)

If I reach for you, will you disappear?

If I close my eyes, are you still here?

I’m dancing with the ghost of who we were…

But you’re gone, and I’ll never touch you in this world.

Final Chorus (soaring, emotional belt)

I see you are craving me,

But you will always be…

A distant memory.

I burn but can’t believe,

I ache but can’t receive,

You’ll never come back to me…

You’re just a distant memory.

Outro (soft piano, fade)

Just a distant memory…

You’ll always be…

A distant memory.
