[Verse 1] I’ve always closed the distance Before it had a name Filled every empty evening And took most of the blame I’d lean into the silence Till you had words to say But lately I’ve been wondering What happens if I wait [Pre-Chorus] No questions in the doorway No hand across the bed No trying to translate Everything you never said [Chorus] When I stop reaching, do you reach for me? When I go quiet, do you feel the space? Was I holding us together Or just standing in your way? When I stop chasing every shadow Do you turn and call my name? Will you miss the love I carried Or just notice less weight? I’m not leaving, I’m just letting Your heart show me what it means When I stop reaching Do you reach for me? [Verse 2] You ask me why I’m distant I say, “I’m standing still” You say, “That isn’t like you” I say, “Maybe that’s the point” You’re used to me repairing Every crack before it shows But I can’t know if you still need me While I never let you go [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t fill the silence Or soften every truth I need to know what remains here When I stop carrying us two [Chorus] When I stop reaching, do you reach for me? When I go quiet, do you feel the space? Was I holding us together Or just standing in your way? When I stop chasing every shadow Do you turn and call my name? Will you miss the love I carried Or just notice less weight? I’m not leaving, I’m just letting Your heart show me what it means When I stop reaching Do you reach for me? [Bridge] Maybe you’ll move closer When I finally let you choose Maybe all this fear between us Was mine to hold and yours to lose Or maybe nothing changes And that tells me everything Maybe love was only moving Because I kept pulling the strings I don’t need another promise Made because I’m breaking down I need to see if you will find me When I’m not turning back around [Breakdown] So tonight I won’t ask, “Are we okay?” I won’t beg you to explain I’ll leave my hand here in the open But I won’t place it into yours again [Final Chorus] When I stop reaching, will you reach for me? Will you cross this quiet space? Were we holding on together Or was I the only one who stayed? When I stop chasing every shadow Will you finally call my name? Will you miss the love I carried Or just feel the weight escape? I’m not leaving, I’m just learning Love should move in both directions When I stop reaching Will you make the connection? [Outro] My hand is still here waiting But this time, you have to choose When I stop reaching What will you do?
