[Verse 1] They marked two places on the floor, one breath outside of touch. Your mouth came close enough to warm the words I swallowed up. Neither of us pulled away. The floor withdrew instead. Each time our shadows nearly met, the ceiling woke in red. [Pre-Chorus] One inch closer — lights went white. One more breath — the locks engaged. We thought the heat belonged to us. The meter logged the gain. [Chorus] Endless almost, close enough to make the voltage taste like love. Every near miss feeds the wire. Every no keeps want on fire. Endless almost, hold the line. Keep us wanting, sell us time. They called the hunger infinite. They just never let it eat. (Hold the line.) (Keep them wanting.) (Move the ending.) (Do not let them meet.) [Verse 2] Your fingertips came close enough to make the sensors bloom. The floor withdrew a measured inch. Red numbers crossed the room. A camera caught your pulse in red. Mine answered line for line. They priced the gap in fractions, then sold us back more time. [Pre-Chorus] Your hand was warm enough to reach, not free enough to land. The room had learned exactly when to move beneath our hands. [Chorus] Endless almost, close enough to make the voltage taste like love. Every near miss feeds the wire. Every no keeps want on fire. Endless almost, hold the line. (Keep us wanting, sell us time.) They called the hunger infinite. (Never let it eat.) [Verse 3] We learned the rhythm of restraint, how close could still mean no. Your body leaned into my heat. The room revised the pose. The closer we came to standing still, the harder circuits spun. They called the distance chemistry and billed us one by one. [Bridge] Then glass went clear behind your head — a thousand rooms in rows. Some reached for light they’d never held. Some guarded what they owned. Red figures climbed from pane to pane. The doors withdrew in time. Each almost flashed beneath the glass and fed the city’s lights. (Hold the line.) (Measure the need.) (Keep them reaching.) (Never let them feed.) [Break] We thought the current came from us. We thought the heat was proof. The room learned where the ending was and moved it out of view. [Final Chorus] Endless almost, close enough to make the voltage taste like love. Every near miss feeds the wire. Every no keeps want on fire. Endless almost, hold the line. (Keep us reaching, sell us time.) They called the hunger infinite. (Never let it eat.) (Hold the line.) (Keep us split.) (Every promise powers it.) [Outro] You leaned in. The city lit up. We were not the power. (We were the difference.)
