[Verse 1]
The sun keeps trying
to climb the bruise
Old clouds hold fast
like a clenched hand
No birds at all
just dust on the sill
and a red wound dawn
against the land

[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in my heart
I keep the cracks
doors that cave in
and only lead back
I know my part
I know my cost
every road I took
was a small thing lost

[Chorus]
Her embrace is a distance
a long way away from here
Her embrace is a distance
and I still feel it near
Take it slow
let it wear
Her embrace is a distance
but I keep it there

[Verse 2]
I was the fault
I was the flaw
failed on repeat
by my own jaw
Old tapes gnaw on
the back of my skull
shadow mouths chewing
on what I won't hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Why are my enemies
always me?
Why do I hunger
for the lock without no key?
Fractured entrances
fading to stone
I touch the glass
and it cuts to the bone

[Chorus]
Her embrace is a distance
a long way away from here
Her embrace is a distance
and I still feel it near
Take it slow
let it wear...

Her embrace is a distance
but I keep it there

[Bridge]
Wear this well
it belonged to her
she moved away
and the air still stirs
A tender fire
in a failing chest
too many came
and too many left

[Final Chorus]
Her embrace is a distance
a long way away from here
Her embrace is a distance
and I still feel it near
Take it slow
let it wear
Her embrace is a distance
but I keep it there
