Lyrics
Intro
It’s not far…
It just…
doesn’t close.
Verse 1
You’re where you always are
Like nothing’s shifted at all
And I move like I don’t notice
But I feel it when I walk
There’s a rhythm in the distance
Like we both already know
Every step just short of something
Neither one of us lets show
Verse 2
I pass by, I don’t linger
But I don’t go too far
Find a place that keeps it steady
Right between where we are
And you look like you could say it
Same as I could if I tried
But we let it sit between us
Like it’s safer if it hides
Chorus
It’s the space between us
I don’t push it away
I don’t reach across it
But I don’t turn away
There’s a line we’re both holding
Like we don’t need to explain
Something real in the silence
We don’t have to name
In the space between us
Verse 3
I’ve felt what happens when it moves
When it gets too defined
How it shifts into a weight
You can’t leave behind
And I don’t know what this becomes
I don’t know where it goes
But I know it isn’t nothing
And I think you might know
Pre-Chorus
One step changes…
everything
One word spoken…
lets it in
Chorus
It’s the space between us
We don’t cross it tonight
But we both stand close enough
To know it’s alive
I’m not asking for answers
I’m not drawing a line
Just not turning away
From what’s there when you’re by
In the space between us
Bridge
If you feel it…
you don’t have to say
I’m not running…
I just won’t force a way
Final Chorus
It’s the space between us
Not a wall, not a lie
Just a place we both stand
Without asking why
If it stays, I won’t fight it
If it fades, I’ll be fine
But I won’t pretend
There’s nothing in that line
In the space between us
Outro
Not far…
Just…
still here.
