I watch you from the edge of the room.

A silhouette in the afternoon.

You're warm like a fire I can't touch.

A beautiful, burning spark, a distant spark.

I'd burn the world to keep you near.

But I'd rather freeze in the cold here.

The safety of the dark, the quiet space.

Where I don't have to face your face.

You're a sunrise I can't hold.

A story that I never told.

I want the warmth, I want the light.

But I'm scared of the day and the night.

Oh, the safe distance, so sweet and true.

Watching you from the edge of the view.

I want you close, I want you near.

But I'm too afraid to draw you here.

The safe distance, a beautiful lie.

Keeping me safe, but making me cry.

I'd give up the dark, the cold, the stone.

Just to feel the warmth, to feel alone.

No, not alone, but with you, maybe.

But the fear of losing is too heavy.

You're a moon that I can't reach.

A perfect, distant, silver speech.

I want to step into the light.

But I'm terrified of the night.

You're a sunrise I can't hold.

A story that I never told.

I want the warmth, I want the light.

But I'm scared of the day and the night.

Oh, the safe distance, so sweet and true.

Watching you from the edge of the view.

I want you close, I want you near.

But I'm too afraid to draw you here.

The safe distance, a beautiful lie.

Keeping me safe, but making me cry.

I know you're out there, waiting for me.

But I'm hiding in the shadows, safe and free.

I want to take off the mask, the fear, the stone.

But I'm not ready to be alone.

I want to step into the light..

But I'm terrified of the night..

Oh, the safe distance, so sweet and true.

Watching you from the edge of the view.

I want you close, I want you near.

But I'm too afraid to draw you here.

The safe distance, a beautiful lie.

Keeping me safe, but making me cry.

The safe distance..

So sweet and true...

Watching you from the edge of the view..
