Intro (airy, minimal)
Snow falling quiet under borrowed stars
Miles between us, but not that far
Feeling distant, still close somehow
This Christmas feels different now
Verse 1 (more intimate, R&B pocket)
Empty chairs, long midnight hours
Your name sits with me, soft and loud
Healing happens in the in-between
Love grows slow, stays unseen
Pre-Chorus (gentle lift)
I miss the shape of your embrace
But I’m learning how to give myself space
Every lesson pulls me through
In the quiet, I find you
Chorus (groove-focused, smoother hook)
When Christmas morning meets my eyes
I’ll wake up changed, not saying goodbye
This distance did something to me
Showed me the best I could be
I’m waiting still, with open arms
A little stronger, a little more calm
Hope feels new, my heart feels true
I’m coming back closer to you
Verse 2 (optional, adds depth)
Late-night thoughts and window lights
I’ve been learning how to be alright
Not escaping, just becoming whole
Letting time do what it knows
Pre-Chorus (variation)
I don’t need to rush the way
Some things grow when you let them stay
Every step is pulling me through
Every road leads back to you
Chorus
When Christmas morning meets my eyes
I’ll wake up changed, not saying goodbye
This distance did something to me
Showed me the best I could be
I’m waiting still, with open arms
A little stronger, a little more calm
Hope feels new, my heart feels true
I’m coming back closer to you
Bridge (indie-rock float, emotional honesty)
Time apart was a gift in disguise
Tears on the floor, truth in my eyes
Every move I make is us in mind
Love takes patience, love takes time
Outro (soft resolve, late-night drive feel)
So until then, I hold this song
Every mile says we belong
Faith and love will pull me through
I’ll come back better, back to you
