There’s a silence when you enter every room I’m in
Like the air forgets to move when you breathe again
We speak in glances, sharp enough to leave a scar
Close enough to touch, but somehow still too far
There’s a wall between us, cold as consequence
Brick by brick built out of common sense
But every night it fades inside my sleep
And you’re the secret that my conscience keeps
Your voice drips slow like midnight rain
Running rivers through my veins
Every syllable you lace
Leaves a ghost I can’t erase
There’s a wall between us, but every night I dream
That you pin me against it, tearing at the seams
Shadows dance around the shape of what we hide
Hands that never touch still haunt my side
Your accent a sweet poison that has become
My favourite flavour living on my tongue
I taste you in the dark when I’m alone
Craving something I can never own
⸻
You wear distance like it’s stitched into your skin
Tailored perfectly to keep temptation in
But your eyes betray the things you won’t confess
Silver storms behind a calm finesse
I replay the moments like a vinyl spin
Where restraint dissolves and you pull me in
The echo of restraint begins to fray
Every breath you steal pulls me your way
You don’t touch but I still burn
From the lessons I never learn
Every glance a loaded gun
And I’m already undone
There’s a wall between us, but every night I dream
That you pin me against it, tearing at the seams
Shadows dance around the shape of what we hide
Hands that never touch still haunt my side
Your accent a sweet poison that has become
My favourite flavour living on my tongue
I taste you in the dark when I’m alone
Craving something I can never own
⸻
The image of your navy sweater on the floor
Like a secret we swore we’d ignore
While I cry out your name like a sinful prayer
To a heaven that never lets me there
Halo cracked, lips stained with regret
Dancing with a fire we haven’t lit yet
If longing was a language, you’d be fluent in mine
Reading every fracture between the lines
⸻
Say my name like it’s dangerous
Hold my gaze like it’s sacred
We’re balanced on the edge of control
And falling feels contagious
⸻
There’s a wall between us, but every night I dream
That you pin me against it, rewriting what we mean
Every breath a vow we never speak aloud
Lost inside a fantasy too dark to be allowed
Your accent a sweet poison that has become
My favourite flavour living on my tongue
And I drown in the echo of your tone
Loving you in places I face alone
