Closer

(album: Covers - 2017)

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue
But I'm OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them
Again

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I can't stop

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

I can take you to a place
Cause I know you don't belong
And I ain't good with love
But I can write you a song
We could wait,
And let time tear us apart
But we don't live forever,
I've got a limited heart
But this unlimited spark
That we chase everyday
How can we ignore it
If it's never gonna fade?
I have your back,
And you are all that I need
And when I see your smile
It liberates me
So open up to me
There's nothing left to hide
I can read you like a book,
It spills out from your eyes
Looking at the skyline
In the rearview mirror
Will anybody notice
That we've disappeared?
When I look into the sky,
Do you see what I do?
I can't even think straight,
Infatuated by you
We could be chasing nothing
I wish that I knew
Even if it takes forever,
I'll be chasing with you

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

Although time will swallow us
And all of our youth
My whole life I never thought
I'd meet someone like you
Someone I understand,
I can see right through
And even when you lie
You're still telling the truth
Like an ocean to a moon,
I feel a strong link
Like a ship in the sea
I don't want it to sink
We could be chasing nothing,
I wish that I knew
Even if it takes forever
I'll be chasing with you
Thank you for the memories
That we've already shared
Every time that you're crying
Know that I am always there
I know that you may think
This is too good to be true
How I'm feeling when I spend
Every second with you
And I promise that
I'll never do you wrong
And no, I'm not good with love
So I'll tell you in a song
When we get older
And look back on our lives
We will have no regrets
And happily we will die

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
