Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You laugh at my jokes
Like I’m the only one here
But your keys on the table
Spell a different truth
My dear
You talk about your day
I trace the ring on your hand
Smiling like it’s nothing
Trying hard to understand
[Chorus]
I’m close enough to feel you breathe
Too far away to call you mine
You’re leaning on my shoulder
I’m leaning on a fragile line
If love had any mercy
It would let my heart escape
But I’m close enough to want you
Close enough to break
[Verse 2]
You fall asleep talking
Name tangled in my sleeve
I tuck your hair behind your ear
Then I quietly leave
Walk home through the dark
Arguing with the sky
How can someone feel so right
And still be wrong tonight?
[Chorus]
I’m close enough to feel you breathe
Too far away to call you mine
You’re leaning on my shoulder
I’m leaning on a fragile line
If love had any mercy
It would let my heart escape
But I’m close enough to want you
Close enough to break
[Bridge]
If I crossed that line
Would you ever forgive me?
If I buried this desire
Could I ever forgive me?
Caught in the doorway
Between comfort and flame
I whisper your name
Your name
Then swallow the blame
[Chorus]
I’m close enough to feel you breathe
Too far away to call you mine
You’re leaning on my shoulder
I’m leaning on a fragile line
If love had any mercy
It would let my heart escape
But I’m close enough to love you
Close enough to break
