Just a Little Closer

(Verse 1 - Him)

I've watched you from the sideline for so long, a star that everyone looks to.

Your laugh, a bell, your smile, a simple song, a melody that's always new.

I’m just the quiet guy you talk to in the hall, a steady shadow when you fall.

I never thought to ever make a call, just happy to be there at all.

(Pre-Chorus - Him)

But then you took my hand, a simple, small surprise.

And led me to this place, beneath these endless skies.

(Chorus - Both)

We're just a little closer than we used to be,

And every little moment feels like destiny.

This isn't just a friendship, no, this is something more,

The feelings I've been hiding are right outside the door.

So let's just take a breath now, and let the feelings fly,

A new beginning for us, beneath this fading sky.

(Verse 2 - Her)

I've always had a crowd of faces around me, a symphony of empty sound.

They see the role, the girl they think they see, but you're the one who knew the ground.

You know the real me, past the perfect face, the lonely girl in this wide space.

I always knew you had my heart's own pace, a gentle rhythm I could chase.

(Pre-Chorus - Her)

And every time I looked, your eyes would find my own,

The only place I ever felt I was at home.

(Chorus - Both)

We're just a little closer than we used to be,

And every little moment feels like destiny.

This isn't just a friendship, no, this is something more,

The feelings I've been hiding are right outside the door.

So let's just take a breath now, and let the feelings fly,

A new beginning for us, beneath this fading sky.

(Bridge - Him & Her, alternating)

I see the stars reflect within your eyes.

And in yours, I see my own surprise.

You've been the quiet truth I couldn't face.

And you're the only love I could embrace.

The world can keep its spotlight, loud and bright.

I'd rather just be here with you tonight.

This is the moment, this is the time...

The only love I ever wanted, all this time.

(Chorus - Both)

We're just a little closer than we used to be,

And every little moment feels like destiny.

This isn't just a friendship, no, this is something more,

The feelings I've been hiding are right outside the door.

So let's just take a breath now, and let the feelings fly,

A new beginning for us, beneath this fading sky.

(Outro - Both)

Just a little closer...

Closer than before...

Just a little closer...

This is where our story starts.

This is where our story starts.
