No Safe Distance — Unplugged

[Opening Motif] [Verse 1] The station lights were fading. Your train became the night. I watched the glass reflect me where you vanished from my sight. The city kept on moving. The river carried on. But every road behind me still led back to where you'd gone. [Pre-Chorus] I thought the miles would make you smaller. They only made the silence wide. [Chorus – Clear Melodic Lift] There is no safe distance. No world far enough. I still hear you in the silence. I still carry what we were. Every road returns your shadow. Every night repeats your name. There is no safe distance from the love we couldn't save. [Short Motif] [Verse 2] I changed the locks and numbers. I slept beneath new skies. But grief kept finding windows and looking through my eyes. No single word destroyed us. No final door was closed. We disappeared in pieces, and I kept every one. [Pre-Chorus] I thought that time would turn the page. It only learned to write your name. [Chorus – Wider] There is no safe distance. No world far enough. I still hear you in the silence. I still carry what we were. Every road returns your shadow. Every night repeats your name. There is no safe distance from the love we couldn't save. [Bridge – Voice and Piano] Where do I put the memory when every room is full? Where do I leave the love that never learned to let me go? I kept walking. I kept breathing. I kept reaching through the dark— for someone who was already gone. [Build] The river kept moving. The skyline changed. The world learned how to lose you. I stayed the same. [Final Chorus – Full Band, Flowing] There is no safe distance. [Vocal Lift – Fragile, Different Register] NO WORLD FAR ENOUGH. [Melodic Descent] I still hear you in the silence. I still carry what we were. Every road returns your shadow. Every night repeats your name. There is no safe distance from the love we couldn't save. [Final Refrain – Softer] No safe distance. No final place. No world wide enough to erase your face. [Outro – Opening Motif] The river carried on. I couldn't.
