Distance

There's something about you
I can't put into words
Some things are easier in silence
Some feelings grow better there

You keep a little distance
Like you're scared I'll disappear
Still, somehow, every night
I find myself wishing you were here

And maybe I shouldn't tell you
Maybe it's better left unsaid
But there's something about you
That follows me to bed


And somewhere between dark and dawn
I got used to waking with you on my mind
Maybe that's what falling feels like
When you don't notice it in time

I don't know when it happened
I don't know where it starts
You just became the quiet
Between the beating of my heart

And maybe I shouldn't tell you
Maybe it's better left unsaid
But there's something about you
That follows me to bed
