Lyric

You were talking soft across the table

Online I can shape every sentence

I go quiet when it’s face to face

Type it out and I sound fearless

In the room I fall behind

Every look feels like a language

I was never taught to find

Face to face

Every word turns strange and weightless

I can be so clear in the blue light glow

Then your real voice comes and I don’t know

How to cross that space

I can read the mood inside a message

But your pause makes everything go dim

There’s a storm of lines behind my teeth now

I just don’t know how to hand you heart

Face to face

Every word turns strange and weightless

I can be so clear in the blue light glow

Then your real voice comes and I don’t know

How to cross that space

I can send a joke, send a sign, late-night line

Make it look smooth every time

But the room got weight, got heat, got eyes

Truth in the pause that I can’t disguise

Stay a little longer

Don’t let my silence speak

Please don’t call it distance

I am just afraid

Face to face

I am trying not to lose it

Even when the words move slow

I showed up here and stayed

No more typing

No more screen

Just this moment

In between

Face to face
