Close enough to see, yet too far to reach
Like a reflection in still waters, serene
As I touch my fingertips to the surface, the ripples carry your face to the other side of the ocean
Delivering it to a place far across torrential seas and violent skies
Though these waters seem to be the embodiment of an unbreakable barrier
I feel comfort knowing you're there, existing in a place I can not yet see
I would willfully tread this treacherous expanse to feel your smile, to look once into your eyes
Before the tide carries away me into the sky

Close enough to see, yet too far to reach
Like a reflection in still waters, serene
As I touch my fingertips to the surface, the ripples carry your face to the other side of the ocean
Delivering it to a place far across torrential seas and violent skies
Though these waters seem to be the embodiment of an unbreakable barrier
I feel comfort knowing you're there, existing in a place I can not yet see
I would willfully tread this treacherous expanse to feel your smile, to look once into your eyes
Before the tide carries away me into the sky
