Closer Than You

[Verse 1] I called your name last night Just to see if it still stung Like biting down on ice Or breathing deep too young You’re somewhere in the static A hum I can’t undo I tried to chase the signal But it always leads to you [Chorus] Even the stars are closer than you At least they flicker, at least they move You’re just silence wrapped in skin A gravity I’ll never win Even the stars are closer than you [Verse 2] I trace the lines you left Like constellations out of place Some nights I still forget You were never mine to chase Your name feels like a warning Sharp and overdue I swallow it like medicine That never pulls me through [Chorus] Even the stars are closer than you At least they shimmer, at least they do You’re just a stillness I can't break A dream I never get to shake Even the stars are closer than you [Bridge] I tried to scream in your direction But space don’t echo back You’re the ache between transmissions The click behind the laugh [Chorus – Final chorus] Even the stars are closer than you They burn out fast, but they burn true You’re a forever I mistook For something that could be touched Even the stars Even the stars are closer than you
