[Intro] I know how to close the distance I've been doing it for weeks Finding reasons, making openings Saying everything you won't speak But I can't keep leaning forward Just to keep you next to me So I'm taking one step backward Leaving space for you to reach [Verse 1] I've been the one who starts the talking The one who asks if you're alright The one who turns a maybe into Something that could happen tonight I've rearranged the complications Made the hard things easier Told you all the ways I'd meet you Halfway, all the way, anywhere And maybe I made it too simple For you to never have to choose 'Cause if I'm always coming closer Then you never have to move [Pre-Chorus] I don't need you chasing after me I don't need some grand display I just need to know you'll reach for me If I don't lead the way [Chorus] Come toward me Come a little closer Without me saying how Come toward me Close the distance Make some room for me now I don't need forever I just need a sign Something that says I'm on your mind I've already shown you What you mean to me So come toward me Come toward me Meet me in between [Verse 2] I don't want to count the messages Or turn silence into proof I don't want to play those little games Where I disappear to test the truth This isn't me withholding This isn't punishment or pride I'm just tired of pulling open doors And waiting on the other side You say that I should keep on talking And God knows I know how But sometimes I need your voice first Sometimes I need you now Not because I'm keeping score Not because you owe me anything I just want to know what happens When I'm not moving everything [Pre-Chorus] I don't need you chasing after me I don't need some grand display I just need to know you'll reach for me If I don't lead the way [Chorus] Come toward me Come a little closer Without me saying how Come toward me Close the distance Make some room for me now I don't need forever I just need a sign Something that says I'm on your mind I've already shown you What you mean to me So come toward me Come toward me Meet me in between [Bridge] It doesn't take a grand design Just show me that I cross your mind A message first, a simple sign A little effort from your side Reach for my hand before I do Give me a reason to believe in you I've made it clear I want you here Sometimes I need you to want me near I don't need promises tonight I just need something that feels right One little move that comes from you To show me you want this thing too [Breakdown] So I'll leave a little silence I won't rush to fill it in I'll leave some road between us And let you decide where it ends Not walking out Not giving up Not asking you to chase I'm only finally letting go Enough to give you space To come my way [Final Chorus] Come toward me Come a little closer Without me saying how Come toward me Close the distance Make some room for me now I don't need forever I just need a sign Something that says I'm on your mind I've already shown you What you mean to me Now show me something I can believe Come toward me Come toward me Meet me in between [Outro] I'm still here I'm just not crossing Every mile between us This time Come toward me Come toward me Come toward me… Show me you need me now…
