If We Cross That Line

We grew up in the same rooms
Same summers, same cartoons
Your mom calling me “her girl”
Like I’ve always been part of your world

We don’t knock, we just walk in
Know your house better than mine’s been
And everyone says we’re just friends
Like that’s all we’ve ever been

⸻

Pre-Chorus
But something changed and I can’t say when
Now I notice everything

⸻

Chorus
If we cross that line, do we lose it all?
Do we break what we’ve always called home?
‘Cause you’re not just someone I could fall for
You’re the one I’ve never known alone

And I don’t know if it’s worth the risk
Or if losing you would ruin this
So I stay right here, don’t say what I mean
Stuck between what is and what could be

⸻

Verse 2
It’s in the way your hand finds mine
Like it’s nothing, like it’s fine
But it lingers just a second too long
And suddenly it feels all wrong

We don’t talk about that night
When it almost felt too right
Like if we said it out loud
We couldn’t turn it back around

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I see it in the way you look at me
Like you’re thinking the same thing

⸻

Chorus
If we cross that line, do we lose it all?
Do we break what we’ve always called home?
‘Cause you’re not just someone I could fall for
You’re the one I’ve never known alone

And I don’t know if it’s worth the risk
Or if losing you would ruin this
So I stay right here, don’t say what I mean
Stuck between what is and what could be

⸻

Bridge (quiet, confessional)
What if we’re everything and we’re too scared?
What if we’re right there and just don’t go there?
Would it ruin us, or set us free?
Would you still be you… if you loved me?

⸻

Final Chorus (more emotional)
If we cross that line, maybe we don’t fall
Maybe this was always where we’re meant to go
But I’m terrified of losing you
More than I’m scared of never knowing

So I hold it in, every “what if”
Every almost, every missed kiss
Staying safe in what we’ve always been
While falling for you all over again
