Distances

from The Space Between by Simon Waldram

/

lyrics

He's alone in a room in another new town
Work's kept him away for more than two weeks now
He thinks about phoning home, but he knows how it will be
A pause and sigh, a timid reach across the distance

That fills the space between
What he says and what he means
She probably still loves him but still it seems
That something has gone

Too many miles away, across the divide
She prepares herself for another lonely night
She thinks about where he is and who he could be with
Then berates herself for lacking trust because

She knows the space between
Who she was and doesn't want to be
After being hurt before, sometimes it's hard to see
When it's right to trust or when something is wrong

When he gets back home, nothing's been resolved
That's what he tells himself as familiar doubts take hold
He thinks about where he is and where else he could be
Then looks at her and feels he can't give up so easily

They know the space between
What they have and what they could have been
Then suddenly in that moment she sees things differently
She looks him in the eyes and decides it's gone on for too long
