Lyrics

Here we are
Talking apart
In far shadows
Things in the way

Trying to remember
The good times between us
With our dreams
A faded memory

I need to ask
Can you look beyond me
Do you see
How I still care

Can you wonder
Will the times change
If we might
Still be together

Once again at a distance
So close in the wide spaces
Words falling into silence
But still inside our hearts

Thinking of times
Once all forgotten
Trying to bring
It all back again

Two hearts in one moment
Just missing each other
So close to forever
Still so far apart

And as time
Becomes a fine line between us
Can you hope
For better days around us

Once again at a distance
So close in the wide spaces
Words falling into silence
But still inside our hearts

Thinking of times
Once all forgotten
Trying to bring
It all back again

Once again at a distance
But I’m right here tonight
Closer than the silence
If you just open your eyes

So close but far apart
So close but far apart
