Little Too Close - Veronika Redd

Hey

Do you remember me?

I’m the girl whose heart you stole

I don’t want it back please

You can keep it

My mind’s made up on who I want holding it

You’re a little too close

But too far away

It’s much too early

Or it’s far too late

Maybe I’m too old now

Or just afraid

That you’ll walk away

Just a glance

Was all it took for me to fall

But you don’t even know that you

Were looking at me, and when you smile

Smile with your eyes

Eyes that pass right over me

Like I’m as out of place as I feel to be

You’re a little too close

But too far away

It’s much too early

Or it’s far too late

Maybe I’m too old now

Or just afraid

That you’ll walk away

You’re across the room from me

But it’s an ocean wide

And the current’s pulling us

Dragging me aside

Oh you’re a constellation

And I’m just a star

Blinking in the universe

But you’ll never notice me at all

When you’re gone, I don’t know what to say

And when you’re with me

I can’t say anything anyway

So just believe me

Even if the words don’t come out

They’re here inside my head

Stuck inside my mouth
