Lately I, I’ve been trying
To get you off my record and off my mind
Running in place, I memorized the ceiling
You know I’m too proud to call it quitting time

The years that change a person
The times that make it worth it
And all those nights I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it
He knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
And I won't be surprised when you don't stay

Baby I, I’ve been lying
Telling you get on out of here
When you go I’ve been crying
Cuz I feel so much better when you’re here

The years that change a person
The times that make it worth it
And all those nights I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it
He knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
And I won't be surprised when you don't stay

I can’t trust how I’m feeling when I’m feeling this way
It’s late, I’m lonely and I’m wishing that I told you you could stay
Would you stay

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
And I won't be surprised when you don't stay
