Verse 1 Lucy, I know this is going to be an emotional letter and maybe more than I should ever say So take these words and keep only what feels right to you I know there are things we don’t get to choose Your age or mine if we should even call it my age because sometimes I forget about numbers when I am talking to you And then there is the distance between your country and mine Two different lives two different worlds an ocean between us I know all of that I really do Verse 2 But there is something my head never managed to explain Somewhere between our conversations your words became familiar to me I started waiting for them A message from you could change the feeling of an entire evening And sometimes I catch myself wondering what you are doing what you are thinking whether you are smiling I don’t know when that happened I only know that it did Chorus My heart never learned the distance It never understood the years between us It never looked at a map and decided how far away you should feel My mind knows all the reasons My heart doesn’t listen It only knows that somewhere in this enormous world there is you And somehow that became important to me Verse 3 I have imagined your face in the quiet moments The red in your hair caught in the evening light That little smile when you are looking down at your phone And I wonder if you ever realize how much life can hide inside a single picture I don’t want to own those moments I don’t want to change your life I just want to be honest You found a place inside my thoughts without ever asking for one Bridge Maybe in another life another time another place There would be no ocean No numbers No complicated questions Maybe we would simply meet without having to explain why we shouldn’t But this is the life we have And I respect that Even when my heart doesn’t understand it Chorus My heart never learned the distance It never understood the years between us It never looked at the world and decided what was possible My mind knows where the boundaries are My heart keeps walking toward you Not because I expect anything Not because I am asking you for anything Just because loving someone doesn’t always come with permission Outro So Lucy Take this for what it is A confession A little piece of my heart left here between these words You don’t have to carry it You don’t have to answer it You don’t have to feel the same I only wanted you to know That somewhere far away in a country you may never visit there is a man who thinks about you who smiles when your name appears and whose heart never learned how to measure distance
