you cross that line

Verse 1

New city, new noise, I was learning the air

Then you walked in like you’d always been there

She’s by your side, your fingers laced

But your eyes keep drifting out of place

You laugh at things I barely say

Like there’s something more you’re scared to name

I tell myself it’s in my head

But you don’t look at me like a friend

Pre-Chorus

I shouldn’t want what isn’t mine

Shouldn’t wait for you to pass by

But every room gets harder to breathe

When you’re standing close to me

Chorus

Every time you look at me

Something shifts underneath my feet

You don’t move, you don’t speak

But your silence is too loud for me

I know you’re taken, I know the rules

I know exactly what this could do

But something crosses every time

Every time you cross that line

Verse 2

I catch myself fixing my hair

If I know you’ll be somewhere near

Hate how my heart reacts so fast

To something I know I can’t have

You brush my arm — maybe by mistake

But it lingers just a second too late

And I replay it in the dark

Like it’s proof it wasn’t in my heart

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s weak

Maybe it’s just chemistry

But if it’s nothing, tell me why

It feels like something we have to hide

Chorus

Every time you look at me

Something shifts underneath my feet

You don’t move, you don’t speak

But your silence is too loud for me

I know you’re taken, I know the rules

I know exactly what this could do

But something crosses every time

Every time you cross that line

I don’t want to be that girl

I don’t want to twist your world

But if you’re happy, why do you

Look at me the way you do?

If this is nothing, let it die

Stop holding my gaze that long each time

’Cause every second that you stay

Feels like you’re asking me to break

Final Chorus / Outro

Every time you look at me

I feel it pulling at my feet

We don’t move, we don’t speak

But the silence is too loud for me

I know you’re taken, I know the line

But something crosses every time

Every time you cross that line

Every time you cross that line

(Soft repeat)

You don’t move…

But you cross that line.
