Song Description
This is a song about seeing a past lover from far away. Like on the streets, or in passing while you're on the bus. Someone who you used to share your secrets with, but you are now essentially strangers to each other. It's about having the wave of emotions you used to feel for them flood back to you when you see them again.

Lyrics
You're looking to me dear, I said that I'd be here for you
And really it's nothing cause you make my heart sing a tune
I'd be there if you let me but nobody can see the truth
We have a history of being a mystery, we do
From far away I saw you today
And it all came flooding in
And I remembered why I fell in love
Hand written letters, a box of my sweaters
Warm through the night that would last until goodbye, la la la
Sharing our secrets, you are my weakness
So get closer to me but stay far as can be, oh my love
From far away I saw you today
And it all came flooding in
And I remembered why I fell in love
Falling down, but I'm already on the ground
I forgot how beautiful you are
Don't give me no reason, cause sadly I know why
So lets stay in this moment until another passes by
I saw you from far away
I saw you from far away
I saw you from far away
I saw you from far away
