Closer Now (Irrelin version)

+ Show full styles

[Pre-Chorus]
And still there is a dark between us
a stretch I cannot name
a depth with no edge
where memory hesitates
I stand there often
not searching
not calling
only listening

[Chorus]
You are closer now
than you ever were before
not in the world outside me
in the quiet I cannot ignore
You are closer now
and I do not need to be sure
I just feel you in the stillness
like a hand on the door

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I reach that threshold
and I do not step across
I just let the room hold me
like it always somehow does
No figure in the doorway
no voice to make it real
just the way my heart stays level
in a world that should not heal
I keep finding little signs
not miracles, just true
the steadiness in my hands
like I learned it next to you

[Bridge]
But I do not cross it alone
I feel you walking with me
not as a shadow
not as a sound
as a quiet alignment
a line inside my chest
in the tenderness that keeps breathing
when it should have left
In the steadiness I never taught myself
in the way I still move forward
without knowing why I can
I just can

[Outro]
One quiet, steady thought
returns to me gently
you are closer now
than you ever were before

Note:
A thought that returns again and again, carrying a closeness that feels deeper now than it ever did when we stood side by side.
To someone who shaped the quiet inside me, whose steadiness I carry in my hands and breath without ever having to ask for it.
The dark stretch between us has no edges, no name, yet the tenderness that remains walks with me still.
Not a grand farewell, but a small, recurring truth: you are closer now.
Listen when the world grows still.

[Verse 1] One quiet, steady thought comes back without asking you are closer now than you ever were before Not closer in distance not the way I used to mean it closer in the silence where nothing has to be said I find you in the pauses light resting on the wall in calm that shows up softly and my breath knows where to slow [Pre-Chorus] And still there is a dark between us a stretch I cannot name a depth with no edge where memory hesitates I stand there often not searching not calling only listening [Chorus] You are closer now than you ever were before not in the world outside me in the quiet I cannot ignore You are closer now and I do not need to be sure I just feel you in the stillness like a hand on the door [Verse 2] Sometimes I reach that threshold and I do not step across I just let the room hold me like it always somehow does No figure in the doorway no voice to make it real just the way my heart stays level in a world that should not heal I keep finding little signs not miracles, just true the steadiness in my hands like I learned it next to you [Bridge] But I do not cross it alone I feel you walking with me not as a shadow not as a sound as a quiet alignment a line inside my chest in the tenderness that keeps breathing when it should have left In the steadiness I never taught myself in the way I still move forward without knowing why I can I just can [Chorus] You are closer now than you ever were before not in the world outside me in the quiet I cannot ignore You are closer now and I do not need to be sure I just feel you in the stillness like a hand on the door [Outro] One quiet, steady thought returns to me gently you are closer now than you ever were before Note: A thought that returns again and again, carrying a closeness that feels deeper now than it ever did when we stood side by side.
