Close Enough To Touch

[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the table
We forgot the time again
Talking like kids in a fable
Laughing at the way we almost met
Your sweater sleeve brushes my wrist
That quiet spark
I feel it jump
You hide your smile in your tea cup
I lose my words
My careful front
[Chorus]
Stay right here
Don't move too much
The world feels close enough to touch
Your name still trembling on my tongue
Like every love song left unsung
If this is all we ever get
I’ll thank the stars for this regret
So stay right here
Don't move too much
Tonight we’re close enough to touch
[Verse 2]
You trace circles on the window
Saying you should head back soon
Street signs blur in your eyes’ glow
I swear they spell out “me and you”
You ask
“What are you thinking?”
I stall
Then let the answer fall
“If I lean in
Will you meet me
Or will I scare off it all?”
[Chorus]
Stay right here
Don't move too much
The world feels close enough to touch
Your name still trembling on my tongue
Like every love song left unsung
If this is all we ever get
I’ll thank the stars for this regret
So stay right here
Don't move too much
Tonight we’re close enough to touch
[Bridge]
Maybe this is how it starts
Not fireworks
Just beating hearts
One soft “yes” in a quiet room
Changing all the years before you
[Chorus]
So stay right here
Don't move too much
The world feels close enough to touch
Your name still trembling on my tongue
Like every love song left unsung
If this is all we ever get
I’ll still be glad that we both leapt
So stay right here
Don’t move too much
Tonight we’re close enough to touch
