[Verse 1] You borrow my pen, then forget to give it back Draw a little question mark beside your name in black You say, “Is that your jacket?” while you’re wearing it tonight I catch you watching me, then you turn away too fast [Pre-Chorus] We keep circling the same old conversation One more inch and we might lose our hesitation [Chorus] Come a little closer, don’t make me guess You’ve got that almost-smile and I’ve got nervousness If you’re trying to tell me, say it with your eyes I’ll meet you halfway, no more alibis Come a little closer, let the whole room blur I know what you’re thinking—I’m thinking it first [Verse 2] You save me a seat though there’s plenty left around Tap your sneaker to mine underneath the table sound Your friends all know the secret; they’re terrible at lying You ask me what I’m doing Friday, then pretend you weren’t trying [Pre-Chorus] We keep circling the same old conversation One more inch and we might lose our hesitation [Chorus] Come a little closer, don’t make me guess You’ve got that almost-smile and I’ve got nervousness If you’re trying to tell me, say it with your eyes I’ll meet you halfway, no more alibis Come a little closer, let the whole room blur I know what you’re thinking—I’m thinking it first [Bridge] No grand confession, no perfect line Just your hand finding mine at the right time The bell rings loudly, but we don’t move You laugh, I laugh—now we’ve got nothing to prove [Final Chorus] Come a little closer, don’t make me guess You’ve got that open smile and I’ve got happiness If you’re trying to tell me, say it with your eyes I’ll meet you halfway, no more alibis Come a little closer, let the whole room blur I know what you’re thinking—I’m thinking it first [Outro] You borrow my pen, but you can keep it tonight Write your name beside mine, and I’ll know you got it right
