Lyric

You close the gap so suddenly

The familiar street feels like it’s shaking

I hide behind my earphones

"It's nothing," I say, masking my heart

Deep in your eyes, playing it cool

But my heartbeat is sounding so loud

You know, but you pretend you don’t—

That move of yours is just so unfair

Just pretending I don't care

But I'm dying to hear you call my name

Behind this cool, detached mask

I'm waiting for a single word from you

Don't get too close, but don't walk away

A sign filled with contradictions

The distance we can't quite bridge

Is testing me again today

The meaning of a night with no "read" receipt

I overthink, then delete what I wrote

A casual stamp is all I send

My true feelings have nowhere to go

Acting tough has become a habit

I just can't show you my weakness

The warmth you offered so freely

I tucked it deep into my pocket

Acting like it doesn't matter

While my heart is leaning all the way in

In the blank spaces of our conversation

My expectations only continue to grow

I won't chase you, but I want to

An impulsive, clashing desire

If you take one step closer

It will all fall apart, I know

If I reached out my hand right now

Would this silence shatter forever?

Even behind this cold facade

I really just want to hold you close

Stop pretending that I don't care

I want to look at you with honest eyes

Throwing away these chic little lies

I want to stand right there before you

No need to run if we get closer

It's okay to be clumsy, just the way we are

The moment we touch, it’ll all be revealed—

I’ve been in love with you all this time
