[Verse 1] You left the kettle by the window water gone, cup still clean I read the note beneath the sugar three small words and one routine I count the coins beside the fruit bowl sort the silver from the red Every little thing has stayed here except the sentence in my head [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a grand confession I need room to tell the truth Let the quiet keep its pressure let it press me back to you [Chorus] Come close, don't fix the silence stay where I can see your hands Come close, no bright solution just enough for us to stand If we breathe between the answers maybe something real comes through Come close, don't fix the silence I am still here next to you [Verse 2] On the bus, I miss my stop twice watch the bakery roll its gate A woman hums into her scarf like she's bargaining with fate I keep your name behind my teeth now not from fear, but from respect Some doors open with a shoulder some with nothing but a breath [Bridge] Take the long way past the river leave the phone inside the drawer We can trade the polished versions for the ones we had before [Chorus] Come close, don't fix the silence stay where I can see your hands Come close, no bright solution just enough for us to stand If we breathe between the answers maybe something real comes through Come close, don't fix the silence I am still here next to you [Outro] The kettle cools beside the window morning gathers on the floor You don't have to say you mean it just come closer than before
