[Verse 1] Your love comes in bright, in a dozen small ways A hand on my shoulder, a joke that stays I answer, I laugh, I say I’m okay Then the lift in my chest drains away [Pre-Chorus] You say my name; I turn toward you My mouth says yes, my pulse says through [Chorus] So much love around me, still I’m out of reach Every tender word lands just beyond my speech I can feel you near me; I can’t make it stay How can I be held and still feel miles away? [Verse 2] Your birthday flowers lean into the sun I save every voice note, play each one I know every kindness; I count them at night Still some part of me won’t take them inside [Pre-Chorus] You say, “I’m here”; I hear it clear I wish that knowing pulled you near [Chorus] So much love around me, still I’m out of reach Every tender word lands just beyond my speech I can feel you near me; I can’t make it stay How can I be held and still feel miles away? [Outro] Don’t let go just yet I’m trying to arrive
