About

Haunting ballad that blends whispery intimacy with cinematic dream pop atmospheres. Built on sparse beats, distorted sub-bass, and ethereal synths, it tells the story of a love that was never realized — suspended between closeness and silence. A song about longing, distance, and the ghosts of what could have been.

Lyrics

New Intro

Air heavy with secret longing

Flicker memories, slow and songless

I wish you saw me clear through the haze

Breathless, I drift in your gaze

Verse 1

I trace your shadow on the ceiling

Paper walls can’t hide the feeling

You were near, but never mine

Like a ghost I couldn’t find

Pre-Chorus

Every step pulls you further away

But I never learned how to make you stay

Chorus

Distance, it keeps us alive and apart

Longing, it’s burning a hole in my heart

I loved you in silence, you never knew

A love unrealized, still haunting the truth

Chorus

Distance, it keeps us alive and apart

Longing, it’s burning a hole in my heart

I loved you in silence, you never knew

A love unrealized, still haunting the truth

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh

Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh

Verse 2

Your voice was static through the wire

Fading embers, quiet fire

In the dark, I held your name

But the echo never came

Pre-Chorus

If I breathe, will you come back again?

Or dissolve like a scene in the rain

Chorus

Distance, it keeps us alive and apart

Longing, it’s burning a hole in my heart

I loved you in silence, you never knew

A love unrealized, still haunting the truth

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh

Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh

Outro (ambient whisper)

I still feel you… I still feel you…

Outro (ambient whisper)

I still feel you… I still feel you…

Outro (ambient whisper)

I still feel you… I still feel you…
