The lyrics reflect a sense of emotional distance and change in a relationship. The couple has come a long way—physically or metaphorically—but now feels lost and disconnected. Despite lingering love, things aren’t as they used to be, and the warmth is fading like sunlight slipping away.

[Intro: Soft guitar chords, a lingering organ hum, a single voice against the quiet]

[Verse 1]
We didn’t slam the door, no thunder in the rain
Just a slow unravelling, a whisper in the grain
You stood in the kitchen, I stood in the hall
Two shadows in the morning light, not speaking at all

[Instrumental 1: Gentle fingerpicked guitar]

[Verse 2]
Time carried us sideways, like wind on the sea
No anchor to hold us, no reason to be
Still I feel your warmth, in the shape of the air
Though you’ve been gone so long, I still see you there

[Instrumental 2: Slide guitar with soft drums]

[Verse 3]
There’s no one to blame, no fire, no fight
Just silence between us and the coming of night
I dream you’re still waiting on the old front porch
But the years keep burning, like a slow, steady torch

[Instrumental 3: Violin swells into quiet]

[Verse 4]
The streets hold our laughter, though the echoes are thin
I walk them alone, feeling where you have been
The world keeps on turning, the seasons still change
But nothing can turn us back to that place again

[Instrumental 4: Guitar arpeggios with organ background]

[Chorus]
And we’re a thousand miles from where we began
No map, no guide, just the touch of your hand
Fading like daylight through a window pane
I love you still, but it’s not the same

[Reprise: Softly]
And we’re a thousand miles from where we began
Still I reach for the ghost of your hand
Fading like daylight through a window pane
I love you still, but it’s not the same

[Instrumental 5: Slow, airy chords, fading out]

[Outro: One quiet breath, one step alone, and the night takes me home]
