Let It Stay Like This — Liva

You're standing closer than before
But we don't reach for something more
There's a silence we both feel
Like we don't need to make it real

Your eyes hold me in that way
Like you don't need a word to say
Every second pulls me in
But we don't have to give in

No need to cross the line tonight
No need to turn this into right
Just stay here in between
Everything we mean

Let it stay like this
Right before the kiss
In the space where nothing breaks
And everything just waits

Let it stay like this
We don't have to risk
Turning something soft and true
Into something we rush through

Your hand almost touches mine
Stops just short, and that's the line
But somehow it says enough
Without turning into us

Every breath feels amplified
Every moment stretched in time
We don't need to move ahead
We're already where it spreads

No need to say what this could be
No need to name it instantly
Just stay here in the glow
Of a "we don't need to know"

Let it stay like this
Right before the kiss
In the space where nothing breaks
And everything just waits

Let it stay like this
We don't have to risk
Turning something soft and true
Into something we rush through

If we move, it changes shape
If we wait, it doesn't fade
There's a beauty in the line
Where it's yours and still just mine

Let it stay like this
Right before the kiss
In the moment we can hold
Without letting go

Let it stay like this
There's no need to fix
Something already complete
In this quiet, in between
