Closest I Get

(album: The Waking Sleep - 2011)

What if I wait and you don't show
If I left you half just to keep me whole
What if I held my breath so long
Would you notice the silence had lasted so long
What if the closest I get to the moment is now

I have seen love come and go
I watched it pass with my heart held close
There's no easy way to know
If I'm looking back or I'm getting close
What if the closest I get to the moment is now

Love it has no guarantees
Which muse will lay its hands on me
We said the words we knocked on wood
And I'm still here waiting to see what could be.
What if the closest I get to the moment is now?
