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

[Bridge (Stripped Down] 

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.
