More or Less

You asked if I still think of you
I said, "Sometimes, maybe I do"
You laughed and said, "That's not a yes"
I shrugged and said, "More or less"
We sat there talking for a while
Pretending both of us could smile

You looked at me and said my name
And at that point, it wasn't the same

More or less, I like you here
More or less, I like you near
We can talk about the weather
Or just sit here close together
Maybe that's all what we need
More or less, just you and me

You told me stories from your day
I listened close and let you say
The little things you never share
The silly jokes that no one cares
You smiled and said, "Stay for a while"
And I forgot to hide my smile

You looked at me and smiled again
And I forgot what I was saying

More or less, you hold my hand
More or less, I understand
We can talk until the morning
Or just sit here, no more "I'm sorry"
Maybe that's enough for me
More or less, just you and me

More than a little, less than a lot
Maybe it's everything that we've got
No need to measure, no need to define
If you're here with me, then I'm doing fine

Now I'm back here at my desk
The page is waiting for the rest
I write the words you never said
And all the things inside my head
I make a little world for two
A place where I can talk to you
And when the final line is done
That's what this song, more or less, has become
