Lyric

[Verse 1]

Clock says 2 a.m

But my hands stay

Tracing your name

In the fog on the window

You’re on the other side

Of this cold blue glass

Eyes on your phone

Heart in my shadow

[Pre-Chorus]

You say you’re “almost here”

But you’re halfway gone

Every word so clear

Till I try to hold on

Breath on my neck then

You’re pulling away

I’m steady on the surface

But I’m shaking underneath

[Chorus]

I’m too close to calm

When you’re this close to me

Every sigh, every pause

Keeps messing with my heat

You lean in slow

But you love from far

I’m hanging off the edge

Of who you are

Too close to calm

Too close to fall

Too close to calm

To feel you at all

[Verse 2]

Your jacket on my chair

Smells like last July

We laughed too loud

Just to drown out the silence

You touch my wrist

Like you’re testing the fire

Say “you know I care”

But you never call it “desire”

[Pre-Chorus]

You read me like a book

Then you shut the page

Leave a light in the hallway

But you lock the gate

I keep my voice low

But my pulse runs wild

I’m balanced on a tightrope

Between woman and child (Mm)

[Chorus]

I’m too close to calm

When you’re this close to me

Every sigh, every pause

Keeps messing with my heat

You lean in slow

But you love from far

I’m hanging off the edge

Of who you are

Too close to calm

Too close to fall

Too close to calm

To feel you at all

[Bridge]

Is it all in my head?

Are you already gone?

Why’s your body stay late

When your heart sleeps alone?

Say my name in the dark

If you’re really here

I’m tired of almost

Drowning in your fear (Yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m too close to calm

When you’re this close to me

Every breath that you steal

Keeps twisting up my peace

You lean in slow

But you love from far

I’m hanging off the edge

Of who you are

Too close to calm

Too close to break

Too close to calm

For my own sake

[Outro]

Streetlights through the blinds

Draw lines on your face

You’re inches from my lips

Still oceans away (Oh)

Too close to calm

Too close to stay
