Gone but Close

[Verse]
In a few months I’ll vanish like a shadow at dawn
Gone to a city where dreams don’t belong
You don’t know me but I know your face
It’s a portrait I’ve memorized
Can’t erase

[Prechorus]
The streets will feel colder
I swear
Even if the sun shines there

[Chorus]
How do I breathe
How do I stay
When you’re a heartbeat
A mile away
I’ll be gone but close
Close but gone
Loving you like a silent song

[Verse 2]
You don’t see the way I stop when you smile
A second stretches into a mile
I’d trade every plan
Every map
Every train
Just to be near
To feel whole again

[Bridge]
I’ll write your name in the sky I can’t touch
Call it madness or call it too much
Every step I take feels wrong
Farther from you
Where I don’t belong

[Chorus]
How do I breathe
How do I stay
When you’re a heartbeat
A mile away
I’ll be gone but close
Close but gone
Loving you like a silent song
