Closer

Every new day throws up new hope,
Some will hold it and some let go,
Our paths crossed but I was short-sighted,
All my feelings went unrequited.
We were young, life was different then,
But what would I change if it happened again?
I’d still be the quiet one,
When I’d built up the courage she was gone.
But every night, she reaches right out to me,
Life is wonderful it seems,
Every night, everything plays out the same,
Even though it’s just in my dreams-
I sat her down and I straight up told her:
Nowadays I’m a little older,
Consequently a little bolder,
Though my heart may be a little colder,
You bring guilt for me to shoulder,
But I’d still give up the world to hold her,
Closer.
Closer.
Time goes by, we can’t slow it down,
Nothing I could say made you stick around,
You made me happy, sad, nervous and afraid,
Came in and out of my life but you never stayed.
When you were here, you just made me sad,
But you were still the best thing that I never had,
You left me broken, shattered and used,
I’d still die for you, I’m so fucking confused.
Every night, she reaches right out to me,
Life is wonderful it seems,
Every night, everything plays out the same,
Even though it’s just in my dreams-
I sat her down and I straight up told her:
Nowadays I’m a little older,
Consequently a little bolder,
Though my heart may be a little colder,
You bring guilt for me to shoulder,
But I’d still give up the world to hold her,
Closer.
Closer.
