Speak

(album: Closer - 2017)

I drove hours just to meet you there
The cars drove past, I could smell your hair
And we listened to our songs there
As you looked out the window, crying
You had written that sloppy note
About how in another life
We might know what life was like between us
If those things had just been a little different

And oh, I dared you
I said I'd never see you again after tonight
Oh no, now I'm not leaving here 'til you know that I

I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes
I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes and speak

I tried to hide against the wall
I wish you didn't know me
You took the back of my hand
And you put it to your chest
To show me how it's gonna beat, beat for me now
I felt so stupid, couldn't figure it out
How you didn't see those things in the mirror
I hope you don't with each step nearer to me

Oh, why can't I just reach that distance to you now
I try and try, I wish that I could prove how

I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes
I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes and speak
Speak, speak to me
Speak, speak, speak to me

I still remember all the late nights
Tying up the phone lines
Trying just to speak to you there
We felt so far away from each other
No matter what we said we couldn't reach one another

I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes
I still remember all those reasons why
I remember
I'll remember when you shut your eyes and speak
Speak, speak to me
Speak, speak, speak to me
