From So Far Away

Intro

mm-mm, ooh (ah)

soft on the line, I trace your name (yeah)

Verse

Late train, window fogs with my fingertips

Your laugh on my phone like a secret I can't quit

Coffee gone cold, but I keep the mug anyway

Staring at a skyline that doesn't know your face

Maps with tiny pins, your city glowing like a dare

I say your name too loud and catch myself, I swear (uh-huh)

Replay the Sunday we learned how to drive slow

Now I'm learning how to miss you in echo

(ah, ah)

Pre-chorus

There’s a map on my chest, compasses tilt to you

I count the constellations that spell out your truth (yeah)

Every midnight signal feels like a small bruise

But I keep wearing that smile that I stole from you

Chorus

From so far away, I still know your weather (I know)

From so far away, my shoulders miss your tether (miss you)

Say your name (say it), then I break (uh)

Say your name (say it), then I ache (oh-oh)

From so far away, from so far away

From so far away, I call and wait (I call and wait)

Verse

Your jacket on my chair, it smells like past July

I take a breath and hold the seasons in my sigh

Video calls freeze, you grin and then you fade

Pixels turn to paper dolls that can't be replayed

I keep your jokes in folders, unread but so dear

Touch the edge of my lips and pretend you're near (na-na)

Street signs and time zones build a wall I'm walking through

But every step is stitched in the song that knows you

Pre-chorus

Phone light fades to blue, but I trace that soft glow

All the little moments that no one else will know (yeah)

I practice saying ”stay” like it's a new vow

Until my voice sounds brave, until it sounds like now

Chorus

From so far away, I still know your weather (I know)

From so far away, my shoulders miss your tether (miss you)

Say your name (say it), then I break (uh)

Say your name (say it), then I ache (oh-oh)

From so far away, from so far away

From so far away, I call and wait (I call and wait)

Bridge

(Heh) I practice running toward you in dreams

(Yeah) but wake up where the sunrise cheats the seams

I whisper secrets to a skyline that won't speak

I write you letters in the margins of the week (write, write)

Skrrt—my mind spins fast on the words we didn't say (skrrt, ayy)

Still I press play on a memory, let it stay (let it stay)

Ki-ki-keep me in the little things you miss (keep me)

Na-na-name me in a silence that's honest, that's this

(come back, come back)

Chorus

From so far away, I still know your weather (I know)

From so far away, my shoulders miss your tether (miss you)

Say your name (say it), then I break (uh)

Say your name (say it), then I ache (oh-oh)

From so far away, from so far away

From so far away, I call and wait (I call and wait)

From so far away, I still feel your tether (I feel)

From so far away, I keep you altogether (keep you)

Outro

mm-mm, ooh (ah)
