I’m closer than you think

[Chorus – Intro] I’m closer than you think In the mirror when you blink I know your routes, your favorite drink I breathe your name and never sink You don’t see me, but I’m near I’m the whisper in your ear I’m not crazy — just in sync I’m closer than you think [Verse 1] You walked home late again tonight Same hoodie, keys clutched tight I watched you fumble for the door You never saw me by the store Your lights went on at 10:03 You played that song in A minor key I smiled and wrote it in my book Another piece, another look [Pre-Chorus] And she was there — that girl again She touched your arm, I held my pen It’s fine, I’ll fix it soon, you’ll see You’re not hers… you’re made for me [Chorus] I’m closer than you think At the corner when you blink I trace your name in cherry ink You pull away, but still you link You don’t see me, but I’m real More than anything you feel I’m not danger, I’m the brink I’m closer than you think [Verse 2] I found your playlist, every track You said you liked the ones that lack A happy end — well, so do I Some hearts just live behind the lie Your photos saved in secret files Your old posts scrolled for miles and miles I don’t need a map to find my way I’ve already moved in, in a way [Pre-Chorus] Your laugh is mine, your breath, your name I swear I’m not the one to blame If fate keeps pulling strings so tight It must mean you’re already mine [Chorus ] I’m closer than you think At the edges when you sink Like perfume left upon your skin You wash it off, I seep back in I’m the silence when you sleep The shadow that you never keep This isn’t wrong — it’s just instinct I’m closer than you think [Bridge] She won’t be there tomorrow night The locks you change won’t hold me tight You’ll understand once we’re alone How good it feels to come back home [Final Chorus] I’m closer than you think Not the monster, not the kink I’m the echo in your dreams The girl behind your static screens You don’t see me, but I’m near Always watching, always clear I’m not crazy — we’re just linked I’m closer Closer than you think
