Closer Than We Meant lyrics
Intro
Half a step
Then no space left
Verse
Your shoulder drifts, I don't move back
Floor tilts soft under the low bass track
Didn't plan this, didn't plan at all
Just the pull of the room, the wall to wall
Pre-Chorus
Who moved first, was it you or me
Was it the beat or was it need
Line got blurred somewhere on the floor
Chorus
Closer than we meant to be
Closer than we meant
Weight against my weight, no distance left
Closer than we meant
Verse
Your hand finds mine like it lost its way
Heat holds still while the light turns grey
No words for this, just the give and sway
Neither one of us backs away
Pre-Chorus
Who moved first, was it you or me
Was it the beat or was it need
Line got blurred somewhere on the floor
Chorus
Closer than we meant to be
Closer than we meant
Weight against my weight, no distance left
Closer than we meant
Bridge
Maybe it was always this
One step short of a distance missed
Nobody's counting, nobody's sure
The floor already knows the score
Outro
Closer than we meant
Closer than we meant
No space left
