$till (MF) / close 2 u Front Cover

Lyric

close 2 u

OLDSKL

Yeah

Where did the time go?

Fell through the cracks in the afterglow

Words on my tongue but I speak too slow

Well, I guess I should say "see you tomorrow"

But count zero, I can't say hello anymore

I replay the silence in stereo

Ghost of a laugh on a video

Just shadows and echoes where we used to go

I play the same old song while the city’s asleep

Cause' they just remind me of what I couldn’t keep

I can't breathe, once I fall, then I'll fall too deep

Now I’m stuck in a loop, just chasing a beep (Beep)

You didn’t cry

I asked not why

Didn’t talk, didn’t try, just watched the sky

Swallowed every word so I’d leave with honour

As if it meant nothing, like ice cold Palmer

Your name floats in the midnight air

I reach again, but there's nothing there

But no matter how far

I want to be close to you

Streetlight flickers, shadows stretch

I thought I saw you at the cigarette bench

I blinked just once, and you were already gone

Like a line that fades from an old sad song

Crossed the street when the light turned green

Window caught my face like a movie scene

Talked out loud while the world stayed unseen

Wrote it down ‘cause I hate explaining what I mean

Crossed a mate who said “you look okay”

Smiled and nodded, looked away

Bought some bread, my phone stayed dark

Back in the flat before it got too stark

Made my coffee, cleaned the floor

Answered calls I used to ignore

Drifted past people, barely felt the frame

Look like I’m fine, just not the same

Not the same

Told myself it’s fine, kept my voice polite

Left the room and walked ‘til it turned to night

Waved to a stranger waiting at the light

I’m just great at always losing, out of spite

Swore I felt your name buzz under my sleeve

But it was just a promo mail, I felt deceived

Got good at acting cool, but I still believe

Even if it’s dumb, I still don’t wanna leave

Your name floats in the midnight air

I reach again, but there’s nothing there

But no matter how far

I’m still close to you
