[Verse 1]
You’re laughing on a screen
Half a world
Half a dream
I trace your name with my thumb
On a glass I can’t get through
You talk about your day
I hide the words I’d say
Smiling like it’s all fine
Drowning in the “how are you”
[Chorus]
You’re too far to hold
But I hold you in my head
Every “goodnight” hits a little like regret
I wish you were mine
Yeah
I wish
I confess
But I love you in the distance
That’s as close as it gets
You’re too far to hold
So I hold my breath instead
[Verse 2]
You call me when you’re bored
Tell me who you’re falling for
I bite my tongue in half
Bleeding on the inside
Still your friend
You say you’re doing fine
I say I’m doing fine
Both of us pretending
Only one of us pretends
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I met you in my city
Would you even look my way? (yeah)
Or am I just the quiet echo
On the other side of space?
So I save all the words
That I’ll never get to send
Let them burn in my chest
Then I hit “seen” again
[Chorus]
