Lyrics

(Soft vocal hums)
Mmm, yeah…
Right here beside me, but a million miles away.
Listen.
[Verse 1]
I see you sitting right across the room
The sweet incense burning, sweeping out the gloom
I reach my hand to feel your gentle grace
But there’s a heavy shadow hiding in your face
We’re breathing the same air, but in different spaces
Lost in the silence of our own mind's places
I can hear your heartbeat, steady and slow
But your spirit is wandering where the cold winds blow.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re close but distant
Like the moon and the sun, yeah, we exist in
The same sky, but we never collide
I’m right here, baby, but you’re far inside
Yeah, we’re close but distant
Trying to cross the bridge of your resistance
you know I’m trying to reach your soul
But the gap between us takes a heavy toll.
[Verse 2]
I and I see the tears you try to conceal
Tell me, my queen, how does it really feel?
You build a wall of glass, so thin but so strong
Keeping out the love where we both belong
It’s a quiet tragedy, a silent cry
Two bodies tangled but the spirits fly
I need your mind to open up the door
Don't leave me knocking on a wooden floor.
Come let the positive vibrations guide ye
Let’s wash away the sorrow and the pride, see?
[Chorus]
(Full band kicks back in, lush and warm)
'Cause we’re close but distant
Like the moon and the sun, yeah, we exist in
The same sky, but we never collide
I’m right here, baby, but you’re far inside
Yeah, we’re close but distant
Trying to cross the bridge of your resistance
you know I’m trying to reach your soul
But the gap between us takes a heavy toll.
[Bridge]
They say the physical is just an illusion
But this emotional distance brings me confusion
I don’t want your body if I can’t have your mind
Leave the baggage of the past far behind
Let’s meditate on love, let the frequencies rise
I need to see the universe inside your eyes…
(Voice cracks slightly with emotion)
Yeah, I just need to see you. Really see you.
[Instrumental Solo]
(A beautiful blend of styles: A smooth, crying blues-soul guitar solo that slowly gets swallowed by classic reggae dub echoes. The Hammond organ swirls around it, creating a hypnotic, spiritual atmosphere.)
[Verse 3 / Outro]
So close… (so close, my love)
But so far… (like a distant star)
Reach across the table, let me hold your hand
Take you to a beautiful, peaceful land
Where the mind is open and the heart is free
Where you are close, and you are close to me.
[Outro]
(Music begins to fade, echoing out into a spacious dub mix. The acoustic guitar plays a final, lingering chord.)
Close but distant…
Don't leave me in the cold, no, no.
Bridge the gap, baby.
I and I are waiting.
Just let me in.
(Whispered)
Close… but distant.
(Final rimshot crack. The sound of a gentle ocean wave washing over the track, fading into silence.)
