Naia - Closer? Closer!

[Intro – filtered vox, bubbles, soft riser] clo–ser? closer~ lip… gloss… shine… o–okay. [Verse 1] You said lean in slow— I don’t know slow~ My tail says go-go-go~ Lip gloss shine, Is that a sign? Did I do it right this time? Air feels warm— Is that normal? Why’s it kinda sparkly? I step this much— Not too much— Is this where I’m supposed to be? [Pre-Chorus 1 – rising] Don’t step back— Stay right there— There’s a tiny buzz In the in-between air~ Not touching— Not yet— Why’s that louder Than touching? Wait— [Chorus 1 – drop] Close-close-close-close— Stop! 💗 Too close? …No? My skin won’t behave! If I tilt like this— And breathe like that— And don’t look away— Does that make it ba-dum—ba-dum— like a wave? Closer? Closer! Don’t move— I’m trying something cute~ [Interlude] [Verse 2] Someone said “Make them chase.” But why would I swim away? If I like this spot— Right here— Why would I give it up? Your hands are warm— That’s new. Land heat feels different than blue. If I slide just a little— Not grab— Just settle— Oh. Ohhh. [Pre-Chorus 2 – softer build] Stay still— No— Come here— No wait— I forgot the rule again~ My tail says yes. My brain says “mystery.” Mystery is hard when I’m shiny. [Chorus 2 – bigger drop] Close-close-close-close— Don’t blink! 💫 I’m not swimming back this time— Let the shimmer climb! If I lean and you lean and the space gets small— Oh— That feels brighter than I thought it would at all— Closer? Closer. Okay. Okay. [Break] [Bridge – half-time, airy, vulnerable] Wait— Why is this so loud when we’re barely moving? In the sea I’d just pull you in— No hovering, no proving— But here it’s softer— Like the edge of a wave before it spills— If I move one inch— Will it change everything? … I kinda want to find out. Don’t stop! 💗 I like this heat right here— No more testing fear— If I lean and you lean and we don’t pretend— Oh— That spark runs all the way to my fin— Closer. Closer. No more rules— No more guide— I’m staying right here.
