Lyric

I didn’t notice when it started…

One day, I just realized

The world felt different

’cause you were in it

I get closer than yesterday

But still too far to say

All the words I hide

They stay inside

I get closer than yesterday

But I drift the other way

Every time your eyes meet mine

I lose the lines

After class we walked slow

Talking small, going nowhere

But somehow

The silence felt warm like spring air

Books in your arms

You laughed about nothing

I tried to keep it cool

While my heart kept running

The world got brighter

When you said my name

I didn’t know love

But I felt the flame

Yeah

I was trippin’ on daydreams

Summer heat, cold drinks

Tryna play it calm

But my heart sank deep

You told me stories

’bout someone on your mind

I nodded like it’s fine

But I died inside

Told myself

“We’re just friends, that’s okay”

But I prayed every night

That you’d look my way

You never knew

Why my hands shook near you

I swear I tried to tell you

But the words ran through

So I kept it in

Like a secret song

Only played in my head

When the nights got long

If time could slow down

Just one second more

I’d take your hand

Like I’ve always prayed for

No more fear

No more doubt

Your quiet smile

Finally spelled it out

I get closer than yesterday

You took my breath away

All the words I hid

You said them too — we both knew

I get closer than yesterday

Now you’re here to stay

When your fingers laced with mine

Our hearts aligned

We’re laughing in the summer night

Streetlights make your eyes shine bright

All this time we danced around

Love was here — we finally found

No more “maybe,”

No more “someday”

You’re the truth

I didn’t know how to say

Hold me close

Don’t let go

If this is love

I already know

We’re closer than yesterday

And tomorrow

We’ll be closer still
