Well, this is just a simple song,
To say what you done.
I told you 'bout all those fears,
And away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.

When I was just nine-years-old,
I swear that I dreamt,
Your face on a football field,
And a kiss that I kept,
Under my vest.
Apart from everything,
With the heart in my chest.

Chorus:
I know that things can really get rough,
When you go it alone,
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,
To bleed like a stone.
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,
As this little hole.

My life in an upturned boat,
Marooned on a cliff.
You brought me a great big flood,
And you gave me a lift.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your tongue,
And your breath was in my lungs,
And we float up through the rift.

Chorus:
I know that things can really get rough,
When you go it alone.
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough,
To bleed like a stone.
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,
As this little hole.

Well, this would be a simple song,
To say what you done.
I told you 'bout all those fears,
And away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.

Remember walking a mile to your house,
Aglow in the dark?
I made a fumbling play for your heart,
And the act struck a spark.
You wore a charm on the chain that I stole,
Especial for you.
Love's such a delicate thing that we do,
With nothing to prove,
Which I never knew.

[Verse 1]
Falling through the quiet evening,
Colors bleed and lose their meaning.
Every thought becomes a ripple in the haze.

[Chorus]
I still feel you near, breathing through the window,
I still feel you near, drifting like an echo.
Floating with my shadow, I still feel you near.

[Verse 2]
Rising from the blackened water
Static hums, the world grows softer.
Take my nerves again so I turn unreal.
Were you only a pulse in the dark of the night?
Taking pieces of me, saying “you’ll be alright,”
But you shimmer in the silence, barely real.

[Chorus]
I still feel you near, breathing through the window,
I still feel you near, drifting like an echo.
Floating with my shadow, I still feel you near.

[Outro]
Are you pulling apart? Are you lost in the dark?
I follow where your light spills through the blue.
Can you bend all the stars? Ease the burn of the scars?
Let your name fade out like morning dew.
Still, I feel you near breathing through the window.

feel you
