lyrics

So close, so close
So close were we
So close, so close
So close were we

As we danced around in mystery
Boldness crept away from me
And I fell into that well where love grows cold
Too bruised to make it work for me
Too scared to see what it could be
It may be too late but at least now I know

So close, so close
So close were we
So close, so close
So close were we

Words were slow to spill from our smiles
Like they used to
When I first knew you
Never quite mastered the way to captivate
I was too unsure
Now it's too late

Almost had it
Almost had a deeper love
Almost had it
Almost had it with you

So close, so close
So close were we
So close, so close
So close were we
