Closer Than You Know

(album: Where Oceans Meet - 2021)

I guess you're sleeping
In someone else's arms
I know that I'm not supposed to
Think about you all the time

I miss being 'round you
I miss you coming round
I'm starting to forget
The way your laughter sounds

It must get tiring sometimes
Shining like a black hole sun

Do you still sing, walking down the street?
Do you still smile at everyone you meet?
Yes I know you said "gotta walk alone"
But I was closer than you'll know
I saw my future in your desperate eyes
You tore me up but don't apologise
You don't owe me for all the dreams you stole
But I was closer than you know

Closer than you know
Closer than you know

I took a picture of your bare feet in the snow
Cause I saw it coming there are some things you can't own
You're like a fracture an almost broken bone
I heard you were hurting somewhere a bit like me you know

It must get tiring sometimes
Shining like a black hole sun

Do you still sing, walking down the street?
Do you still smile at everyone you meet?
Yes I know you said "gotta walk alone"
But I was closer than you'll know
I saw my future in your desperate eyes
You tore me up but don't apologise
You don't owe me for all the dreams you stole
But I was closer than you know

Closer than you know
Closer than you know
Closer than you know
