Lyric

You leave your coat by my door

Like you might come back for more

Your name hangs on my wall

But your hands never stay

I keep your cup on the shelf

Like proof I can read you myself

You lean in, then you fade

And I pretend that’s okay

You keep me close, then far

A half-lit kind of heart

I hold the shape you make

Before you pull apart

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

You let me stay in the blue

But never all the way through

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

I’m near the edge of your yes

Still waiting on the rest

You say my laugh feels like home

Then you go quiet on the phone

I read between your lines

Like I’m learning a bruise

Your shadow rests on my bed

Your almosts live in my head

I wear them like a ring

But it cuts when I move

You keep me close, then far

A half-lit kind of heart

I hold the shape you make

Before you pull apart

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

You let me stay in the blue

But never all the way through

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

I’m near the edge of your yes

Still waiting on the rest

If I ask, you smile

If I reach, you drift

I’m tired of the almost

Tired of the gift

Say it plain, or let me go

Don’t keep me on the line

I can love the truth

Even when it isn’t mine

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

You let me stay in the blue

But never all the way through

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

I’m near the edge of your yes

Still waiting on the rest

Close enough to believe

Close enough to believe

If you won’t choose me now

Then let me leave somehow
