lyrics

At Zuidplein, under the shelter glass

Your wet sleeve brushed my knuckles past

One bus hissed out, the doors bit shut

I looked at you, and the world went cut

You asked for a light, I said I got none

My hand shook hard in the orange LED hum

Your gum snapped once, then your laugh came low

That little gap hit me like a blow

The timetable flicked, twelve oh-seven

Your shoulder stayed where my jacket was left in

I heard my name in your half-smile

Then both of us froze for a while

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now

Next bus rolled in with a brake-slam tone

Your fingers found mine, then stayed too long alone

A receipt fell out from your coat to the floor

You stepped on it slow, and I wanted more

The driver stared through the fogged-up pane

Your mouth said “later,” but it landed strange

A second passed, then your eyes turned warm

And that bus stop frame became a storm

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now

Rotterdam rain on the platform seam

You leaned in close like you’d already seen

My chest went loud, my words went thin

Right there, I knew we were crossing in

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now

Too close now
