[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals] Your side of the bed still warm But we haven't touched in days Words caught in traffic lights Hanging in half-read delays I dress like you're still watching Fold shirts the way you did It's louder when you're quiet But I won't beg you to admit [Pre-Chorus] [bass enters, light percussion] Don't need your reasons lined up Don't need your tears in rows If breathing's hard for you here Then I'll unlace the hold [Chorus] [full band enters | driving drums | electric guitar fills | vocal harmony] I won't chase the version of you That flinches from my hand If we both need air, love Let's not pretend to stand In rooms too close for meaning When nothing's left to bend There's grace in the in-between Let distance be our friend [Verse 2] [drums drop to soft kick | acoustic guitar continues] Left coffee where you like it Still hot by the window ledge You walk past it every morning Like it's some unspoken pledge The photos haven't moved yet But I won't frame the past I'm not erasing us But I won't let this be our last [Pre-Chorus] No bargains whispered at midnight No ultimatums dressed in sighs If we're meant to find a rhythm We won't need to try [Chorus] [full band | vocal harmony | anthemic energy] I won't chase the version of you That flinches from my hand If we both need air, love Let's not pretend to stand In rooms too close for meaning When nothing's left to bend There's grace in the in-between Let distance be our friend [Bridge] [piano and strings swell, drums drop out] If you circle back in silence I won't meet you with regret Just the same door left ajar The way you always left it [drums build up] No blame tucked in the hallway No guilt behind the light Only time that couldn't hold The space that felt right [Chorus] [maximum dynamic intensity | vocal group harmony | electric guitar soloing in background] I won't chase the version of you That flinches from my hand If we both need air, love Let's not pretend to stand In rooms too close for meaning When nothing's left to bend There's grace in the in-between Let distance be our friend [Outro] [acoustic guitar fades, soft piano notes] Let distance be our friend
