lyrics

At the bus stop on Mäkelänkatu

Your thumb kept tapping the timetable board

You laughed at a joke I didn’t pursue

Then your hand found mine, and we both looked toward

The 615 hissed by in the rain

Your sleeve brushed mine on the bench’s cold edge

You said my name like it was a change

That you had already kept in your pocket

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now

Your breath on my scarf

Your eyes on the glass

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now

We stood where the snow turned black by the curb

You passed me a receipt and a half-closed glove

The last thing I needed was what you heard

But your knee hit mine, and that was enough

Inside the shelter, the heater clicked

A tram moaned somewhere down at Sörnäinen

You looked at my mouth, then looked away quick

Like you’d found a door you couldn’t open again

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now

Your breath on my scarf

Your eyes on the glass

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now

When the blue route sign shook in the wind

You touched my sleeve like a final test

I knew right then what we’d stepped in

And neither of us could name the rest

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now

Your breath on my scarf

Your eyes on the glass

Too close now, too close now

Too close now, too close now
