Close Enough | 2000s Alt Rock

New music every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

::::Lyrics::::

Verse 1
We talk like it’s just conversation
Like there’s nothing underneath
Standing close but leaving space
Like that space isn’t killing me
You say my name and hesitate
I hear it, then I let it pass
We’re really good at reading signs
Just bad at doing math
---
Pre-Chorus
It’s not that I don’t want to
It’s not that you don’t know
It’s just easier to leave it
Than to be the one who goes
---
Chorus
We were close enough to make it real
Close enough to almost try
Every moment lined up right
We just let it slide
I was waiting on you
You were waiting on me
And now it’s just another thing
We never let ourselves be
---
Verse 2
We joke about how timing works
Like it’s something we can’t touch
Talk about the way things change
Like we haven’t changed enough
You lean in when you laugh too hard
Then catch yourself and pull away
I tell myself tomorrow’s fine
Then tomorrow becomes someday
---
Pre-Chorus
We don’t call it fear
We call it being smart
Like knowing how this ends
Means never letting it start
---
Chorus
We were close enough to make it real
Close enough to almost try
Every moment lined up right
We just let it slide
I was waiting on you
You were waiting on me
And now it’s just another thing
We never let ourselves be
---
Bridge
Someone should’ve crossed the line
Someone should’ve said the word
Funny how the quiet moments
End up being what hurts
---
Chorus
We were close enough to make it real
Close enough to feel the truth
Every almost adds up now
To something we still lose
I was waiting on you
You were waiting on me
Guess wanting something bad enough
Still isn’t certainty
---
Outro
Now it’s just a passing thought
When your name comes up somehow
We never made a mess of us
But we never found out
