[Verse 1]
I watched the sunlight leave the floor
The shadows stretching toward the door
Your coffee cup is sitting still
Upon the wooden windowsill
The world is rushing fast outside
But here, the turning of the tide
Is just the sound of breathing deep
Before the city goes to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need to force a single word
The loudest thoughts are better left unheard
Just pull the blanket to your chest
And let your shoulders find their rest

[Chorus]
Oh, let the distance grow quiet tonight
No need to figure out who’s wrong or right
We have the space, we have the time
To let the heavy mountains climb
So close your eyes, the storm has passed away
The distance grows quiet… and it’s okay

[Verse 2]
The ticking clock upon the wall
Doesn't sound so urgent after all
We used to run to keep the pace
Chasing the ghosts of time and space
But now your hand is holding mine
Tracing a slow and peaceful line

[Bridge]
The miles between where we have been
And where the morning starts again
They don’t look quite as long from here
When all the static disappears
It’s just a breath, it’s just a pause
We don't need reasons or a cause

[Final Chorus]
Oh, let the distance grow quiet tonight
No need to figure out who’s wrong or right
We have the space, we have the time
To let the heavy mountains climb
So close your eyes, the storm has passed away
The distance grows quiet… and it’s okay

[Outro]
It’s quiet now…
The world can wait.
We’re safe right here.
