Closer Than Ever

(mmmmm) I see you sometimes from across the room,

And suddenly I'm back with you,

Thinking about the things we'd say,

And wishing I could stop the days.

You're not gone, you're still somewhere,

But I don't know if you even care,

And that's the part I can't explain,

How someone can feel so

far away.

You're closer than a mile away,

But I don't know what I could say,

I could walk right up to you,

But I don't know if you want me to.

You're so close, but yet so far,

Like a fading light from a distant star,

I could see you,

but I can't reach you,

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

You're still somewhere in this town,

But somehow

I can't find you now,

It's crazy how someone can be

So close, but feel so far from me.

I wonder if you think about The conversations we had before,

Or if those moments disappeared Like they never mattered anymore.

I wish we had one more day,

One more chance to talk and stay,

Not to change what happened then,

Just to hear your voice again.

If you could hear me right now,

Would you remember me somehow?

Would you smile like you did before,

Or would I just be someone you don't know anymore?

I don't want to chase a memory,

I just miss who we used to be,

And maybe that's what hurts the most— You're close enough to see,

But still too far to hold a conversation with.

So I'll keep wondering from afar,

If you ever wonder where we are,

Because no matter how far you go,

There's one thing I still know—

You were never really far away,

You were just someone

I couldn't reach today.
