This Close

[Verse 1]

When everything happens at once

And that's what we love

You said you recognized me

Because we both live for the touch

Of the real thing

And I am with you

That night at the karaoke bar

Your face came out of the dark

Pasty white and glowing

[Chorus 1]

With some kind of knowing

That I know you had to do was sing

Thank you for understanding

Thank you for understanding

[Verse 2]

While you were waiting for me on the beach

I was driving down the highway with my head pressed at the window

Like preach, preach, preach

And we are waiting

And we are all waiting

[Chorus 2]

When I finally reached you, you we were so high

There was nothing left to do but sing to the sky

Thank you for understanding

Thank you for understanding

[Bridge]

When everything happens at once

And that's what we love

Are we really this close?

Or is it just the drugs?

You've been working yourself up into a state

Every since your daddy left

Who can wait

To believe

[Outro]

Love is a real thing

Love is a real thing

And we are waiting

And we are waiting
