Title: Close Enough to Burn
Verse 1
There she goes, like a flame in the dark,
Lighting up the room, leaving her mark.
Got a smile like a shot, straight to my veins,
I’m a moth to her fire, dancing in pain.
I watch from the shadows, afraid to be seen,
Caught in between what I want and what I mean.
Every move she makes, every word she says,
I’m lost in the ache, drowning in her waves.
Chorus
I wanna hold her, wanna taste her skin,
But I'm stuck outside, too scared to begin.
Wanna feel her breath, hear her call my name,
But I'm a prisoner, playing a coward's game.
Close enough to burn, too far to touch,
God, I want her so much.
Verse 2
She don’t even know the war in my head,
All the things I imagine, the words left unsaid.
I wanna pull her close, lose control,
Lay her down, body and soul.
But my feet don’t move, my tongue’s a stone,
I’m a king in my mind, but out here alone.
And every night I curse this fear,
While she walks away, nowhere near.
Chorus
I wanna hold her, wanna taste her skin,
But I'm stuck outside, too scared to begin.
Wanna feel her breath, hear her call my name,
But I'm a prisoner, playing a coward's game.
Close enough to burn, too far to touch,
God, I want her so much.
Bridge
I don’t want to be just a ghost in her night,
I want to be the reason she can’t sleep right.
But I'm locked in this silence, breaking apart,
A burning desire, a terrified heart.
Outro
Maybe one day, I’ll break these chains,
Step out of the dark, walk through the flames.
But till then I’ll stay, lost in this yearn,
Close enough to burn… close enough to burn.
