So Close But Far Apart

(Orchestra Strings)

(Acoustic Guitar slowly takes over)

(Verse 1)

We’re sittin’ in the same old room tonight

Your hand’s right there but it don’t feel right

We talk about the weather, the day at work

But every word just seems to hurt

Verse 2

Your eyes drift past me like I’m not here

I hear your voice but it’s not clear

There’s a silence hangin’ in the air

Loud enough to say we’re barely there

Chorus

We’re so close but far apart

Two shadows missin’ the same heart

Side by side, worlds away

Love ain’t gone, it just won’t stay

We’re holdin’ on, but losin’ ground

No bridge left that won’t break down

So close but far apart

Verse 3

I remember when you’d lean my way

Every touch had somethin’ to say

Now the nights feel wide and cold

Like a story half been told

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know where the line was crossed

Or when we started countin’ loss

Chorus

We’re so close but far apart

Two ghosts sleepin’ in the dark

Same bed, different dreams

Ain’t as simple as it seems

We’re reachin’ out, still fallin’ short

Love’s a sail with no support

So close but far apart

Bridge

If love’s an ocean, we’re standin’ still

Starin’ out past our own free will

No wind to turn us back around

Just driftin’ where we can’t be found

Chorus (soft, then lift)

We’re so close but far apart

Tryin’ hard, still missin’ heart

Every word, every sigh

Feels like one last alibi

Outro

I’m right here, you’re not far

Still feels like miles between our hearts

So close… but far apart
