[Verse 1] You’re three streets over But it feels like miles I trace your name On the kitchen tile Got your picture on the fridge Crooked magnet Plastic frame I talk to it at midnight Like you might answer back my name [Chorus] You’re so close I can almost feel you breathing But I can’t reach through the rules that keep me bleeding Every wall Every word Every line they drew Puts another pane of glass between me and you You’re so close I could almost hear you laughing But I wake to the quiet and the ceiling cracking If love could bend these bars I’d run straight through Till the only thing you see is me and you [Verse 2] I buy the shoes You’re already outgrowing Fold tiny shirts Like I know where you’re going I hear about your birthday Secondhand in traffic jam Blow a candle on my dashboard Pretend you’re grabbing at my hand (oh) [Chorus] You’re so close I can almost feel you breathing But I can’t reach through the rules that keep me bleeding Every wall Every word Every line they drew Puts another pane of glass between me and you You’re so close I could almost hear you laughing But I wake to the quiet and the ceiling cracking If love could bend these bars I’d run straight through Till the only thing you see is me and you [Bridge] When you’re old enough to ask Why I wasn’t there I’ll hand you all these letters Ink shaking like a prayer I never walked away from you I was pushed outside the frame But every night I said your name Every night I said your name (yeah) [Chorus] You’re so close I can almost feel you breathing But I can’t reach through the rules that keep me bleeding Every wall Every word Every line they drew Puts another pane of glass between me and you You’re so close But my arms can’t stop this distance So I’ll stay here Holding on in quiet resistance If time can bend these bars I’ll run straight through Till the only thing you see is me and you

pop, Moody alt‑pop ballad over pulsing synth bass and sparse, filtered drums; male vocals stay hushed and intimate in the verses with close-mic breathiness, then bloom wider in the chorus with layered harmonies and a subtle lift in the low end; soft pads and distant vocal chops shimmer in the background, bridge strips back to bass and voice before a final, swelling hook, male vocals, moody, ballad
