Close Enough

(album: Be Quiet, They're Listening - 2023)

There's no line it's a web
All that's he's said I have read
It keeps going

Like a story they tell
You don't know it very well
Because it's growing

Like the seed in the bed
Before all the joy and dread
And the hoping

Such a small and tender thing
Could mean almost everything
And then nothing

But it's close enough
Whatever gets you close enough
I'll take what I can get
Whatever gets me close
Enough

It's no wonder you don't call
Don't agree on much at all
But I want to

Can you whisper it to me
Like the secrets we would keep
In the begging

Have you moved on just yet
An idle letter left unread
Still I'm writing

Oh I never really said
How I felt it when we met
In the moment

But it's close enough
Whatever gets you close enough
And take what I can get
Whatever gets me close
Enough
