Close Enough to Wonder

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Marth by the doorway, sleeve rolled to the elbow Deni turns around when the room shifts tempo One half-smile held, one glass set down A little more brave in the middle of the crowd [Pre-Chorus] You say something; I miss the first part Read it again in the shape of your mouth No hurry, no line we have to cross Just your hand near mine when the lights sweep out [Chorus] Marth, Deni, close enough to wonder Two steps nearer while the whole room moves No big promise, no need to uncover Just your eyes saying, “I’m here with you” Marth, Deni, let the moment linger Shoulder to shoulder, letting silence speak Across the room, now there’s barely a distance And your smile is the only thing I need [Verse 2] We trade our names like a small confession Laugh at the same song, lean in to hear Your jacket brushes mine; neither one moves The crowded floor makes a little space appear [Pre-Chorus] You say something; I catch the last word Answer too softly, then say it again No hurry, no script for the night Just your hand near mine, and the room turning slow [Chorus] Marth, Deni, close enough to wonder Two steps nearer while the whole room moves No big promise, no need to uncover Just your eyes saying, “I’m here with you” Marth, Deni, let the moment linger Shoulder to shoulder, letting silence speak Across the room, now there’s barely a distance And your smile is the only thing I need [Outro] When the song changes, stay a little longer Marth, Deni, close enough to know
