Close

[Verse 1] Streetlights bleed gold through the half-drawn blinds Your hoodie still carries the late-night kind We talk in whispers so the dark won’t keep Score of every almost we don’t dare speak You trace old freckles I forgot were mine Laugh like the secret’s allowed this time The whole city sleeping, we don’t move an inch Afraid the air between us might flinch [Pre-Chorus] One more song, one more stolen hour One more reason not to lose our power If I lean in just a breath more— [Chorus] I just wanna get close Closer than the space we stole Close like the hush before the storm Close like your name in my mouth, still warm Don’t let the morning turn us into ghosts Stay right here Stay this close Just this close [Verse 2] Coffee ring fading on my windowsill Proof that time can be this willing, this still You said “almost” like it could be enough But almost never ached this much Your voice cracks soft around my name The dark forgets to assign any blame Two locked doors that learned how to breathe In one small room, one shared, shaky ease [Pre-Chorus] One more look, one more quiet dare One more second we can still spare If I let the silence do the rest— [Chorus] I just wanna get close Closer than the space we stole Close like the hush before the storm Close like your name in my mouth, still warm Don’t let the morning turn us into ghosts Stay right here Stay this close Just this close [Bridge] I mapped whole countries in your eyes Found disappearing miles in every sigh If getting this close is some kind of sin Then lock the door and let me in I’d burn the clocks, I’d lose the key If it meant you’d stay this close to me [Final Chorus] I just wanna get close Closer than we’ve ever known Close like a secret we both keep Close like the dark when we don’t speak Don’t let the daylight call it done Stay right here Stay this close God, just this close
