Three tables down, you're laughing loud
Your voice cuts through this crowded room
You glance my way, then look away
Like you've got something to lose
I've been right here week after week
Same corner, same drink, same seat
You talk to everyone but me
You see me clearly, why can't you be

When will you come over?
I know you see me standing here
Do I need neon lights or flares, my dear?
When will you come closer?
This waiting game has grown so old
My patience wearing thin, you see
So make your move or set me free
Come closer already

You hold your drink just like a shield
Between our glances on the floor
Your friends all nudge, they joke and know
While you pretend there's nothing more
I catch you staring when you think
My eyes are turned the other way
You're just an echo with no answer
All shadow games but afraid to play

When will you come over?
I know you see me standing here
Do I need neon lights or flares, my dear?
When will you come closer?
This waiting game has grown so old
My patience wearing thin, you see
So make your move or set me free
Come closer already

I won't wait forever, honey
This ain't some silver screen
The music fades, the lights go down
And I'll be just a dream
I'm not asking for forever
Just one step in my direction
I'm not a mirror for your gazing
I need more than your reflection

One final night, one last chance
The bartender calls last round
I'm grabbing keys and heading out
About to disappear from town
You can stare at empty spaces
Wonder where I might have gone
Or cross this floor before I'm leaving
Before this moment's dead and gone

When will you come over?
I know you see me standing here
Do I need neon lights or flares, my dear?
When will you come closer?
This waiting game is done tonight
My patience has run out complete
So make your move or watch me leave
Come closer...
It's now or never
Come closer already
