Keeping Distance

lyrics

The long wait to drop the mask
To breathe the free air again
One more calendar page torn free
And dropped in the recycling bin

A birthday trapped behind the glass
This year’s been full enough for three
I see you on the other side
I know you wish you could walk with me

But we’re keeping distance
Measuring proper space
All sidewalk glances
Can the lost steps be retraced?

The path that brought us here
Make some new eyes to see
We never knew the answers why
This is how it all should be

Running from this to that
Never seeing that we lost the race
You know the maze defines the rat
And here we thought we made this place

Too busy keeping distance
Hedging all our bets
Showing no commitment
If only you would

Let the sky envelope you
Breathe in the altitude
I know you lost more than me,
So what’s the point of gratitude?

Maybe something brave and new
Will rise from everything that’s died
Yes, remember all you lost
But don’t forget the ways you tried

To keep persistence
To see where you could help
It’s okay to be sad now
That won’t be all that’s left
