Too Far To Touch

[Verse 1]
Phone light on your tired face
You say my name, then hide your smile
Blankets, but it’s not my arms
Different clocks, the same dark sky
I trace your outline in my mind
Know every freckle I’ve not kissed
Talk brave, but when the call ends
It hits how much I miss this
[Chorus]
Cloe, I wanna be too close
Breath on your neck, my hands on your clothes
Tangled up tight in a t-shirt and your hair
Cloe, I wanna feel your skin
All of the ways I can’t through this screen
Bodies saying everything, everywhere
But you’re
Too far to touch
And I’m too in love to stop the wanting
[Verse 2]
You laugh, say “one day we’ll explode”
On some cheap bed in some small room
Leave the curtains wide, don’t care
Let the sun find what we do
I ache for quiet morning heat
Your legs locked lazy around mine
Half asleep, you pull me back
Like you’re scared I’ll cross that borderline
[Chorus]
Cloe, I wanna be too close
Breath on your neck, my hands on your clothes
Tangled up tight in a t-shirt and your hair
Cloe, I wanna feel your skin
All of the ways I can’t through this screen
Bodies saying everything, everywhere
But you’re
Too far to touch
And I’m too in love to stop the wanting
[Bridge]
Every “goodnight” is a promise
Every “I want you” a prayer
Till your suitcase hits my hallway
I’ll be right here, right here
[Chorus]
Cloe, I wanna be too close
Breath on your neck, my hands on your clothes
Cuddled up deep till the daylight disappears
Cloe, I wanna feel your skin
Every soft inch I dream again and again
Let our hungry hearts pull the borders into tears
You’re still
Too far to touch
But you’re close enough to own my every fear
And I’m too in love to stop the wanting (oh yeah)

country, Slow-burning R&B ballad with male vocals over warm electric piano, soft sub bass, and crisp, minimal drums. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a gentle pad, like a late-night call. Subtle guitar swells and airy backing vocals underline the distance and longing, final chorus slightly bigger then fade on a lingering vocal run.
