Listen Close Lyrics

[verse]
It's been awhile and a million miles
Since i've seen the sun shine on your face
A long time coming but now i'm runnin' back home
southern pines and neon signs and every backroad between the two
out of sight dont mean out of mind to me

[Chorus]
Carry on this way
I'm singin' to you from somewhere tonight am I getting through?
(is it getting through)
I choke on every word and it never comes out right
This would be so much easier standing next to you
[verse]
I didn't know what I was lookin' for
but I found it when I took your hand
The cheshire smile still cuts me down to the bone
Preacher says its for rich or poor
We see a lot of the latter of two
I've been gone so long i'm afraid I might be losin' you

[Chorus]

Woah x 30odd

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Considering the more gentle nature of the song I would suggest this about a loved one (partner). Their relationship has faded over time ... there is an emotional distance between them (perhaps physical barrier too).

Has the narrator realised too late what they had?? Have they lost them??
