Almost Close - Cathy and the Dreamer

"Almost Close"

Verse 1
I see you through the fading light,
A glance that lingers, slips from sight.
Words unspoken fill the air,
Like shadows dancing, unaware.

Pre-Chorus
You turn away, but not too far,
Like tracing circles 'round a star.
A quiet pause, a breath between,
In all the spaces left unseen.

Chorus
Almost close, yet miles apart,
You drift along the edge of my heart.
Every silence, every glance,
Feels like a step, feels like a chance.
But maybe it’s not meant to be—
Or maybe you’re just lost like me.

Verse 2
Your voice is soft, but walls stand high,
A guarded smile, a fleeting sigh.
"Not right now," is what you say,
But echoes never drift away.

Pre-Chorus
You look for me when I let go,
A silent pull I can’t outgrow.
Between the lines, I hear you call,
But fear of falling holds us all.

Chorus
Almost close, yet miles apart,
You drift along the edge of my heart.
Every silence, every glance,
Feels like a step, feels like a chance.
But maybe it’s not meant to be—
Or maybe you’re just lost like me.

Bridge
If time could whisper what you hide,
Would you stand still or run and slide?
Are we both caught in this thin air,
Afraid to lose what's barely there?

Final Chorus
Almost close, yet miles apart,
You drift along the edge of my heart.
Every silence, every glance,
Feels like a step, feels like a chance.
But maybe it’s not meant to be—
Or maybe you’re just lost... like me.

Outro
Almost close... but never near,
Your shadow’s warm, but never here.
