Closing the Distance

By Nova   

[Verse]
There's tension in the air
did we forget we care
about the burdens we bear?

Where is our sky of stars?
I miss you so, so hard,
Though you are not very far.

[Pre-chorus]
The veil has worn so thin
it seems the smallest wind
lets all the resentment in.

Our fears come pouring out.
Why can't we just sit down
and remember what we found?

[Chorus]
All I wanted was you.
When I would dream sometimes,
Was it you I held on to so tight?
Oh, It's just like déjà vu.
Wasn't that you last night?
And when I looked in your eyes,
All I wanted was you.

[Verse]
When distance grows between
the last dumb, careless thing
I did to break your trust,

and we go out with friends,
I catch a glimpse of then.
Again, I fall in love.

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm pulling out the chart,
And I'm mapping out these stars.
I swear I'll find your heart.

And if I get lost again
While your waiting in suspense,
Please read these letters that I send.

[Chorus]
All, all I see is you.
It's just like the first time.
And I feel 23 inside.
'Cause I've got my favorite view
and music in my life;
Its your laugh, and your eyes.
Oh, All I see is you.

[Bridge]
We may not be the same
as the day we met,
but I'll love every version
of us we go through.

And though I cannot say
I'll never hurt you again,
I swear I'll never
give up on you.

Just don't give up on me.

[Chorus]
You. All I want is you.
Let me set my wrongs right.
Don't want to be the reason you cry.
And I promise to always choose
you every single time.
I want to be the spark that lights your eyes.

All I want is you.

All I want is you.
