So Close

Your name was the lover's
In the book I read
And I am thinking of you again

Winter's gone warm
Has enough been said?
And I don't want to see you again

Revisit it over and over tonight
A conversation with the little part of me
What is mine to behold and believe?
I'm getting older seeking closure with time
Time

Maybe we'll know
Does it ask?
Would you tell?
Forever so close

Maybe we froze in time and
This is how far it goes
So close... So close

There's mean in the dew
And it's wringing my neck
But he was always waiting instead

Words turn us loose
But always a remove
Between said
And all the thoughts in my head

Over and over, I'm reliving my life
An adaptation of a portrait I've seen
But if we meet and it doesn't exist?
We'll build a splendid hotel
Out of the moments we missed

Maybe we'll know
If we asked
Would you tell?
Forever so close

Maybe we froze in time and
This is how far it goes

But maybe we know
If we asked
And I told you
I wanted you close —

Maybe we froze in time
To see how far it would go

To what you wanted to say, to what you never —
So close. Write me a letter instead to what you never —
So — I never asked you for this, I've always wanted you
So close, so close, so close
