This song is about fostering connection despite physical distance, which seems pretty poignant as we round the corner on a full year of isolation.
I wrote it about an artist I met on tour in the before lockdown(2020). We stayed in touch via email and FaceTime, and when he sent me a demo of a song he written for me, I responded in kind.
Lyrics
Space bx Screens
Do you feel it? Like lifting off
I've been giving you bit by bit
But you could take it all
In the midst of all the muses
In the fellowship of fakes
You seemed out of place
I think I'm falling for you
I think I’m falling for you
Your heart sounds but doesn't seem
So far away from me
We've got some distance to reach
There's a lot of space between these screens
I like that you don't need me
Always plenty of slack
Getting by on just the sights we see
What I give I'm getting back
I've had all the bruises
Now I'm watching them fade
Just keep this pace
I think I'm falling for you
I think I'm falling for you
Your heart sounds but doesn't seem
So far away from me
We've got some distance to reach
There's a lot of space between these screens
I was taking shots in the dark
So unaware that I could make a mark
Let's go somewhere I wanna hold your heart
and match your stare just let me hold your heart
Let’s go somewhere
I’m taking shots in the dark
So unaware that I could make a mark
Let's go somewhere I wanna hold your heart
and match your stare just let me hold your heart
Lets go somewhere
Your heart sounds but doesn't seem
So far away from me
We've got some distance to reach
There's a lot of space between these screens
