Close Enough.

CLOSE ENOUGH (2009)

He thought about you alot
A constant memory that could not have been forgot
Never came close enough
He played it cool because he didn’t want to look a fool or make a fuss
Keeping his feelings withheld deep inside
Somewhere below the surface, somewhere they could hide

Was it real, did the pair of you almost share a moment back in 2005?
Although he wasn’t feeling confident that he could be the prize
The one you really wanted, maybe that night?
Would it have really been so wrong, as you turned off your light?

Just a quick kiss on the cheek after he walked you home
He never wanted you to go it alone
Did the two of you ever come close, but not close enough?
He always thought of you, that you were out of his league
He didn’t think he was what you need

He recalls the night, you scored that date with another
The guy who turned out to be a joke
As you shared a laugh about it at the bar as you two, later spoke
He told you in not so many words that he always wanted you
But the timing was always wrong, there was nothing you both could do
Although maybe you both should have done
Maybe it would have been a lifetime of love, you both could have won?

Now some years have passed, they seem to go by so fast
And he still wonders if you felt the same?
Or was he just another face, just another name?
Would you have ever have grown close, close enough?
Made it through the storm when the going got tough?
How does it feel, Knowing that he still thinks about you?

Words, Wide Night.

Words, Wide Night.

Somewhere, on the other side of this wide night
and the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
The room is turning slowly away from the moon.

This is pleasurable. Or shall I cross that out and say
it is sad? In one of the tenses I singing
an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.

La lala la. See? I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross
to reach you. For I am in love with you

and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.
