Close Enough to Feel You
Close Enough to Feel You
Intro
Piano drifts like smoke from a low-lit bar,
Every chord knows who we are.
Trumpet waits, doesn’t rush the truth,
Just breath and brass and borrowed youth.
Verse 1
We sit at the edge of almost-touch,
Close enough to want too much.
Your sleeve brushes mine like an accident planned,
I pretend not to notice, you understand.
The room leans in, the ceiling’s low,
Every shadow’s moving slow.
Pre-Chorus
No one’s watching, but everyone knows,
How desire hums when it never shows.
Chorus
Close enough to feel you, not enough to stay,
Close enough to let the moment sway.
One inch closer and the truth comes loose,
So we balance on the edge of excuse.
Close enough to feel you breathe,
Too far gone to believe in leave.
Verse 2
Your voice pours low like aged red wine,
Says my name but takes its time.
The piano slips into a minor doubt,
Plays what we’re dancing around.
A glass sweats slow on a small round table,
We read the silence like a fable.
Pre-Chorus
The trumpet bends a cautious note,
Like it knows how fragile hope is, afloat.
Chorus
Close enough to feel you, not enough to fall,
Close enough to hear the walls.
If we cross this line, there’s no return,
So we let the longing burn.
Close enough to feel your heat,
Standing still on restless feet.
[Instrumental Break]
Verse 3
Your smile curves like it’s hiding rain,
Mine’s rehearsed, but it feels the same.
We trade stories that stop halfway,
Leave out the parts that beg us to stay.
Outside, the city hums and sighs,
Inside, we tell smaller lies.
Bridge
If we moved, it would change the air,
If we don’t, it’s already there.
So we hold the moment, thin and true,
Like a note that almost resolves to blue.
Chorus
Close enough to feel you now,
Every rule forgets how.
No hands meet, no vows are made,
Just a promise gently delayed.
Close enough to feel your skin,
Far enough to keep it in.
Verse 4
Time checks its watch, pretends to wait,
We sip our courage a beat too late.
Your knee is near, the night is deep,
Every secret wants to leap.
The piano sighs, the trumpet knows,
How close is far when nobody goes.
Final Chorus
Close enough to feel you stay,
Even as the night slips away.
No goodbye, no reason why,
Just a look we don’t deny.
Close enough to feel you near,
Close enough to keep you here.
Outro
One last chord, it hangs too long.
Trumpet fades where it doesn’t belong.
We part with nothing left to prove—
Still close enough to feel you move.
