Lyric

[Verse 1]

I still remember after class

You waited by the faded stairs

Your sweater smelled like summer sun

And wind was playing with your hair

We didn’t talk about a thing

Just listened to the people pass

I felt my heartbeat stumble hard

Like it was running out of gas

[Chorus]

Just a little closer

You were shy but didn’t move away

Just a little closer

And I couldn’t think of what to say

Our shoulders touched like it was planned

More than words could ever stand

Just a little closer that day

[Verse 2]

You looked at me then looked away

Pretending nothing really changed

But something lingered in the air

Like we both knew and felt the same

I didn’t dare to call it love

But I recall the quiet truth:

The world was busy everywhere

But time slowed down with only us

[Chorus]

Just a little closer

You were shy but didn’t move away

Just a little closer

And I couldn’t think of what to say

Our shoulders touched like it was planned

More than words could ever stand

Just a little closer that day

[Bridge]

Maybe we were too young

To name what we had found

But every road I walk today

Still leads back to that town

[Final Chorus]

Just a little closer

You were shy but didn’t move away

Just a little closer

And I still feel it to this day

Before we ever tried to speak

Before we knew what love could be

Just a little closer… stayed
