Come a Little Closer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your jacket on my chair Like you already know you'll stay A little salt along your hair And that half-smile you never explain [Pre-Chorus] You say my name, then look away I catch the dare beneath the calm One step closer, no need to say We both know where this is gone [Chorus] Come a little closer, let the room turn slow You’ve got that quiet kind of trouble I already know Every guarded word comes loose when you look my way Come a little closer, don’t make me ask you to stay [Verse 2] Your thumb draws circles on the glass The whole room blurs behind your eyes We trade the truth in little laughs And leave the harder parts outside [Pre-Chorus] You say my name, then look away I catch the dare beneath the calm One step closer, no need to say We both know where this is gone [Chorus] Come a little closer, let the room turn slow You’ve got that quiet kind of trouble I already know Every guarded word comes loose when you look my way Come a little closer, don’t make me ask you to stay [Bridge] If morning finds us, let it wait Let the key turn softly in the door You don’t have to promise anything Just don’t stand on the other side anymore [Final Chorus] Come a little closer, let the room turn slow You’ve got that quiet kind of trouble I already know Every guarded word comes loose when you look my way Come a little closer, don’t make me ask you to stay Come a little closer, let the whole night bend You can keep your secrets; I can meet you where they end Every guarded word comes loose when you look my way Come a little closer, don’t make me ask you to stay [Outro] Don’t make me ask you to stay
