Are we still close

VERSE 1 (soft, intimate)

Now I know what you mean to me

But knowing don’t always fix everything

We get close, then we pull away

Like we’re scared of what we say

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (build tension)

I don’t wanna lose you

But I don’t wanna lose me

Somewhere in the middle

Is where we’re supposed to be

⸻

CHORUS (HOOK — THIS NEEDS TO HIT HARDER)

Are we still close?

When the silence gets loud

When the words don’t come easy

But we’re still around

Are we still close?

Or are we just holding on

To something we’re afraid to name

But don’t wanna let go of

(ad-lib: “are we still… are we still close?”)

⸻

VERSE 2 (NEW — YOU NEED THIS FOR STREAMING VALUE)

We don’t say what we feel

We just sit in the space

Acting like everything’s fine

While it slowly breaks

And I wonder if you think of me

When it gets quiet too

Or if I’m the only one

Still reaching for you

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (repeat slightly stronger)

I don’t wanna lose you

But I don’t wanna lose me

Somewhere in the middle

Is where we’re supposed to be

⸻

CHORUS (repeat — fuller emotion)

Are we still close?

When the silence gets loud

When the words don’t come easy

But we’re still around

Are we still close?

Or are we just holding on

To something we’re afraid to name

But don’t wanna let go of

⸻

BRIDGE (EMOTIONAL PEAK)

I don’t need perfect love

I just need something real

But tell me if you feel me

The way I feel

Or am I the only one

Still trying to hold it together

When nothing feels certain

But we won’t let it end

⸻

OUTRO (FADE / AD-LIB FEEL)

Hold on, hold on

Let’s find the strength to carry on

Hold on, hold on

Together, where we belong

(ad-libs: “don’t let go… don’t let go…” fading out)
