One of the songs I wrote during the Chris Difford songwriting retreat. Inspired by the photography of Hannah Grace Deller.

lyrics

Heidi she holds me,
And I know what I miss
All the great things happen,
When people are close,
And they don’t let go

Bring me in gently,
I feel like a ghost,
Of a ghost,
That someone made up,
Nothing seems real
When we’re this far apart

I want to reach out,
Across this distance,
And hold you
Two Metres Close

Look at me slowly,
I want to be seen by you,
Two Metres Close

N95
And your face,
I can’t tell if you’re happy or sad
And I thought I was fine,
With all of this

Can’t go out with a DNR on my head,
Nothing’s fair about any of this,
I was living my best life
And now I’m

Reaching across all this distance
To bring you
Two Metres Close

I want to reach out,
Across this distance,
And hold you
Two Metres Close

SOLO

I want to reach out,
Across this distance,
And hold you
Two Metres Close

Let me be near you,
I feel like a ghost,
Bring me
Two metres close.

It’s amazing how much,
We connect when we’re
Two Metres Close

And if all this ends,
Will you promise me more than just,
Two Metres Close
