never been closer 5.22.22

(album: same day sessions - 2023)

We were out to a good start
I was in with my whole heart
First time that you kissed me, I felt butterflies
But I guess they flew away with the summer night
Like a carousel and quicksand
Like a last song with a good band
We could keep on dancing till the lights get low
But we could call it quits and just go home

Beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're riding on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feeling colder
Baby, I ain't saying it's over
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer

Like a Mustang that just won't run
Like a whiskey that won't get you drunk
Got one foot out, one foot in
Standing on the edge
Falling in or out of love again

Beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're riding on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feeling colder
Baby, I ain't saying "it's over"
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer

(Never been closer)
To taking my things out the drawers
And moving back to Texas
(Never been closer)
To saying forever no more
And making me one of your exes

Beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're riding on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feeling colder
Baby, I ain't saying "it's over"
But we've never been closer
(No, we've never been closer)
No, we've never been closer
(We've never been closer)
