“Close Enough to Crash”
(Verse 1)
Everybody loves you when you walk in the room
Golden light, pretty lies, flowers that bloom
You need admiration like air in your lungs
But forever gets heavy when the honeymoon’s done
You learned to hold your anger like a loaded gun
Smile through the damage, say “I’m fine,” then run
You want somebody close but not too close to see
There’s a locked little kingdom nobody can reach
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
You chase the unavailable
I chase what I can’t save
We keep calling this love
While we dance around the pain
⸻
(Chorus)
We get close enough to crash
Close enough to burn
You pull away for freedom
I come back for your touch
Two restless hearts in orbit
Never landing where we are
Yeah we love like lightning strikes
Beautiful and hard
You say forever scares you
But goodbye tears you apart
So we get close enough to crash
Then restart
⸻
(Verse 2)
You read people’s secrets before they even speak
Sharp tongue, quick mind, soul running deep
Dreams blur reality when the night runs long
Truth gets tangled in the stories we become
You want a love so holy it survives every flaw
But nobody survives being worshipped that hard
Still your body and your heart move side by side
So even after heartbreak you still run toward desire
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
You never wanted average
I never wanted safe
We keep calling this fate
While making the same mistakes
⸻
(Chorus)
We get close enough to crash
Close enough to burn
You pull away for freedom
I come back for your touch
Two stubborn constellations
Trying to share the dark
Yeah we love like thunder storms
Beautiful and hard
You say forever scares you
But goodbye tears you apart
So we get close enough to crash
Then restart
⸻
(Bridge)
Maybe we were never meant for peaceful love
Maybe we were written in electric blood
Same sun, same fire, same impossible spark
Two mirrors staring straight into each other’s scars
You don’t think like me
I don’t love like you
Still somehow every road
Leads me back to you
⸻
(Final Chorus)
We get close enough to crash
Close enough to stay
Building something permanent
In a temporary way
You’re the storm I shelter in
The chaos in my calm
And no matter how we break
We keep holding on
Yeah forever scares us both
But lonely hits too hard
So we get close enough to crash
And call it love
In the dark.
