[Intro] (Yeah, yeah...) (So close, yet so far...) [Verse 1] The final bell is ringing through the hall I’m staring at your shadow on the wall Sitting by the window, watching you laugh While I’m just a face in your photograph Yeah, I know that smile isn't meant for me But I keep on playing this fantasy [Pre-Chorus] Scribbled letters in the corner of my book Hiding every secret, every look If I could erase this feeling like a mistake Maybe my heart wouldn't have to ache We’re so close, but you’ve never been so far [Chorus] Just an arm’s length, but I can’t reach out Trapped in the silence, filled with doubt If I take a step, will I lose it all? Watching your back as the shadows fall The words "I love you" fading in the breeze Caught in a loop of "just friends," if you please The sunset's gold, but I’m feeling blue [Verse 2] "See ya tomorrow," with a casual high-five That tiny spark is what keeps me alive "You guys look good together," I joke and lie While a piece of me is screaming "Why?" Playing the wingman, wearing a mask Is loving you such a heavy task? [Pre-Chorus] No textbook answer for this mystery You’re the only chapter in my history Even if your heart belongs to someone else I’m still here, just talking to myself At the crosswalk where the orange light glows [Chorus] Just an arm’s length, it’s a bittersweet space Searching for a sign upon your face We’re walking together, but where is your heart? Tearing my world and my soul apart "See you later," though I’ll see you soon Crying out your name to the rising moon Falling for you from the closest seat [Bridge] [Slow down, emotional vocals] If this story has another page to turn I don’t need a crown, I just want to learn How to be the one who makes you shine Give me the courage to make you mine (Just give me a sign...) [Last Chorus] [High energy, heavy harmonies] Just an arm’s length, but I’m breaking through Wishing I could tell the truth to you If I take a step, will the colors change? Everything feels so new and strange "I love you," I’ll say it loud and clear Look in my eyes, there's nothing to fear This melody is finally for you [Outro] Arm’s length... the distance stays the same And you still don't even know my name (I love you...) (Always...) (Yeah...) [End]
