[Intro]
Every step I take toward you
You drift from me
You drift from me (yeah)
Paradox on repeat
[Verse 1]
Phone in my hand
Text on my tongue
Readin your typing
Reply never done
You close in my chest
But your touch in retreat
You a ghost in the room
Footprints in my sheets
I chase what we had
Till the hallway bend
Same start
New dead end
[Chorus]
The closer I get
The further he is away from me
Baby that math don't add
Whole love turned into make-believe
The closer I get
The further he is away from me (so far)
Running in place in your gravity
Paradox pulling my sanity
[Verse 2]
Her voice on the line
Heart half-charged, low-batt
We talk in circles
Turn truth to a throwback
Every I miss you
Come with a won't stay
You warm in my ear
Then you fade in the gray
We both in the car
But the maps don't sync
Same road
Different brink
[Bridge]
How we this near, still nowhere at all? (nowhere)
Hands up, air there
Reach then you fall (you fall)
I step, you step
But you side-step me
Two hearts, one glitch
No remedy
[Chorus]
The closer I get
The further he is away from me (so far, so far)
Every soft word hit painfully
Whole world shrink to a memory
The closer I get
The further he is away from me (oh no)
Running in place in your gravity
Paradox stealing my energy
