**VERSE 1** City hums around us but the sound’s turned down Your eyes are asking questions that my mouth can’t spell out We’re standing in the middle of the boulevard Close enough to touch but still too far apart **VERSE 2** I don’t know your last name, don’t know where you’ve been But something in the air tonight feels different Like the space between us has its own gravity And I’m leaning forward even though I shouldn’t be **PRE-CHORUS** One step and we’re strangers Two steps and we’re playing with danger **CHORUS** What if I close the distance What if you disappear What if this only lasts ‘til the taxi lights come near I could walk away safe Or I could take the risk and stay here In the space between us Where everything’s unclear (What if I close the distance) **VERSE 3** Neon signs keep blinking like a countdown clock Your breath is visible and so is every thought I’ve replayed this moment with a hundred different ends Where I either lose myself or never see you again **PRE-CHORUS** One word and it’s over Two words and we’re starting over **CHORUS** What if I close the distance What if you disappear What if this only lasts ‘til the taxi lights come near I could walk away safe Or I could take the risk and stay here In the space between us Where everything’s unclear **BRIDGE** Maybe you’re a mistake I need to make tonight Maybe you’re the answer I’ve been looking for my life Either way I’m terrified Either way I’m paralyzed Standing on the edge of something I can’t rewind **FINAL CHORUS** What if I close the distance (I’m closing the distance) What if you disappear What if this only burns ‘til the streetlights interfere I could walk away whole But I’m taking the risk right here No more space between us Now everything’s sincere (I closed the distance) **OUTRO** Yeah, I closed the distance And you’re still here
