Close To Being Us

bedroom pop, indie pop, confessional pop, alt pop, singer-songwriter

[Verse 1 — soft, intimate, close-mic, steady pulse]

We’re so close to being us Here goes nothing, I’ll admit it It’s been hard for me to trust Your love when you act like you regret it But under the armor that guards your heart Is the person who’s loved me from the start

[Verse 2 — reflective, dreamy, steady rhythm]
Last night I had a long talk with the girl in the mirror And when it was over the truth became clearer It’s not just you who’s keeping your distance, I realize We sleep inches from each other, but we both hide Behind walls built to protect us Tall as the trees outside

[Pre-Chorus — slightly rising, vulnerable tension, consistent beat]
You doubt your ability to be in love I doubt my own worth, my value I still think I’m not enough Or I’m too much

[Chorus — warm lift, pulsing beat, melodic]
So just take my hand Let’s let it all go Don’t matter where life takes us Don’t think — we both know It could be us If we just trust That our love story’s already enough

[Verse 3 — intimate, aching, slightly more open, steady pulse]
You always keep me underneath Your broken heart And it’s so hard when you seem so close Yet so far What if we led our doubts and fears astray Into the reignited fire between us And burned them all away... Then watched them go up in flames

[Refrain / Post-Chorus — floaty, soft, rhythmic]
And we can let go Of our doubts, our fears, our stress Anxiety doesn’t always have to know best Think of how easy life could be If we lost the mess, the push and pull, the distance And just broke free Just you and me

[Bridge — stripped back, hushed, emotionally exposed, still in time]
So take my hand Don’t even begin To deny the feelings we both know We keep buried within We’ve both been hiding We’ve both been scared Wanting the same thing While pretending it’s not there

[Final Chorus — fuller, soaring, layered vocals, pulsing beat]
So just take my hand Let’s let it all go Don’t matter where life takes us Don’t think — we both know It could be us If we just trust That our love story’s already enough

[Outro — soft, airy, fading, lingering pulse]
It could be us If we just trust That our love story has always been enough

[Brief Instrumental Outro — fades away after 8 bars]
