Maybe we' ll never be seen together at night on a crowded street
I may never reach across your body to kill the light when you' re asleep
Maybe I' ll never watch you dressing
I won' t sound too familiar on the phone
But I can touch your hand accidentally and take that moment home
That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you
Even though there' s nothing else I' d rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you.
INTRO
I won' t be there when you need holding
But I' m sure that he can pull you through
But I can sing this song to everybody and pretend it' s not about you.
CHORUS
CHORUS
That' s as close as I' ll get to
That' s as close as I' ll get to
That' s as close as I' ll get to
(E)
