About the song

“How Close You Are” speaks to the moments when faith has been shaken and the way forward feels uncertain. It encourages us to leave old pain behind and remember that love and connection may be closer than they seem.

Lyrics

When you're out in the cold
And the cold is deep inside
When you've bought the dream but you're still not sold
And maybe someone lied
When you'd still like to believe
But your faith's no longer blind
The time has come for you to leave
All this pain behind

When you've planned your journey home to love
But you seem to be going nowhere
You find that you're so tired of being halfway there
You find yourself with time to dwell
On every battle, on each scar
Just try to remember that with love
You never really know
Just how close you are

When you want to be on your own
Cause you've reached out just too far
But you don't want to be the one left alone
That's just not who you are
When you'd like to be strong
But it's time that you confess
That you've known all along
That strength's your weakness

When you've planned your journey home to love
But you seem to be going nowhere
You find that you're so tired of being halfway there
You find yourself with time to dwell
On every battle, on each scar
Just try to remember that with love
You never really know
Just how close you are

When you've planned your journey home to love
But you seem to be going nowhere
You find that you're so tired of being halfway there
You find yourself with time to dwell
On every battle, on each scar
Just try to remember that with love
You never really know
Just how close you are
