歌詞

You sit close enough to hear me

But far enough to fade

The table holds the quiet

We were too tired to name

Your shoulder turns toward the window

My hand stays by my side

The room is full of water

That neither one of us describes

There is weight between our hands

There is pressure in the room

Love did not leave us here

It only changed its blue

You breathe where I can see you

I breathe where you cannot

We keep the distance gentle

And call it what we’ve got

On opposite sides

Of pressure we made

I see your hand in the water

But I cannot make it stay

On opposite sides

Of words we never gave

You are close enough to hurt me

But too far away to save

We learned to move carefully

Around the softer pain

To pass each other slowly

Like glass beneath the rain

You ask if I am tired

I say the night is long

You nod like you believe me

And both of us are wrong

The silence has a body now

It stands between our names

It sleeps beside the doorway

And wakes when nothing changes

I do not blame your breathing

You do not blame my still

We only built a pressure

That neither one could kill

On opposite sides

Of pressure we made

I see your hand in the water

But I cannot make it stay

On opposite sides

Of love we could not say

You are close enough to know me

But not close enough to stay

Maybe we were kind too long

Maybe we were scared

Maybe every swallowed line

Turned heavy in the air

Maybe love did not go out

Maybe it moved deep

Somewhere under both of us

Where neither one can reach

I see your face through all this blue

Soft but out of range

I know the shape of missing you

Before you even change

If I touch the glass between us

Would it crack or hold

Would the water rush in faster

Would the room turn cold

We are on opposite sides of pressure

And I still know your name

I still hear the old warmth moving

Underneath the weight

We are on opposite sides of pressure

Not enemies not free

Just two hearts in separate water

Remembering how to breathe

You sit close enough to hear me

But far enough to fade

The table keeps the quiet

We were too tired to name

I leave my hand open

Where the blue light breaks

Not asking you to cross it

Just knowing what it takes
