about

Sometimes we need the shoulder of a friend who isn’t nearby. This song
is from the point of view of the one who is consoling from afar, and who longs to be near.

lyrics

It makes me sad to see you cry; your quivering lips, your red eyes
Wish I were there in the same town to take away what makes you frown
But I’m too far and you’re alone, can’t hold you closer than my phone
Nor wish the miles away, instead I’ll hold you in my dreams ahead

Close your eyes, I’m with you there. You must know how much I care
Kiss your brow, stroke your cheek; I’ll hold you close while you’re asleep

I hate to see him break your heart, he has no clue how far apart
He’s driven you, though close you were; but not so now; that seems a blur
Longing to restore your smile I’ll hold you in my mind awhile
Your light I wish to reignite and see your beacon in the night

Close your eyes, I’m with you there. You must know how much I care
Kiss your brow, stroke your cheek; I’ll hold you close while you’re asleep
