I keep my steps a little far
So I won’t break what we are
Every word I hold inside
Afraid to cross the line
The quiet space between you and me
Is where I feel most free
I don’t dare to get too close
Fear it’ll disappear so fast
This is the safe distance of love
Not too far not too close
Gentle and quiet we both know
Safe from the hurt and the cold
This is the safe distance of love
Soft as the wind that blows
I’ll stay right here where it’s enough
To keep this feeling slow
I watch you from a gentle space
Where my heart won’t lose its way
No need to rush into the light
We’re fine inside the night
I guard this space with all my care
So love won’t turn to despair
Close enough to feel you near
Far enough to keep you here
This is the safe distance of love
Not too far not too close
Gentle and quiet we both know
Safe from the hurt and the cold
This is the safe distance of love
Soft as the wind that blows
I’ll stay right here where it’s enough
To keep this feeling slow
Safe distance…
Of love…
Slow and gentle…
Safe distance of love…
