[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus - Soft Opening]
You are my horizon, where my world begins
The place I’m always reachin’, never gettin’ in
It’s a strange kind of grief to mourn the livin’
To ache for what’s still there but still not given
I keep a place for you in every breath I take
Waitin’ for the someday that the distance makes
You’re forever out of reach, forever what I need
My horizon, and the only place I’m freed

[Verse 1 - Intimate]
I don’t measure distance out in miles
I measure it in mornin’s without your voice
The same moon watches over where you are
As if we had a choice

I look down at my hands and put yours there
Feel the particular weight of what we lack
The shape of somethin’ I have never held
And still I keep comin’ back

[Verse 2 - Strings Enter]
Two stars in different galaxies we pull
Against the gravity of open space
I don’t need the sun to tell me what time it is
I need to know you’re wakin’ to the day

Same sky, different side, but you’re awake
And somethin’ in the world clicks into gear
A single nerve runnin’ heart to heart
That no distance could make disappear

[Chorus - Lift]
You are my horizon, where my world begins
The place I’m always reachin’, never gettin’ in
It’s a strange kind of grief to mourn the livin’
To ache for what’s still there but still not given
I keep a place for you in every breath I take
Waitin’ for the someday that the distance makes
You’re forever out of reach, forever what I need
My horizon, and the only place I’m freed

[Bridge - Almost Spoken]
You’re very much alive just out of reach
The closest thing to present that I know
To mourn a person who is still out there
Is the strangest grief I’ve ever been shown

Every thought I have leads straight to you
Nothin’ in between that I can trust
Every heartbeat carries only your name
The way it always has and always must

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Final Chorus - Full Voice]
You are my horizon, where my world begins
The place I’m always reachin’, nearly gettin’ in
It’s a strange kind of grief but now I know it
Distance is a love that has to show it
I keep a place for you in every breath I take
Someday ain’t forever, someday’s gonna break
You’re forever out of reach but I’m comin’ through
My horizon, and the only place is you

[Outro - Bare]
Your hands
Your breath
Your scent

Still waitin’
Still yours
Still here

My horizon
What I’ve ached for all these years

[End]
Solo piano
Final sustained chord
Natural room decay
