Name: CLOSE TO ME
Duration: P00H03M40S
Description: This track was probably the quickest to make off the album... I had the inspiration for the chorus (like with most of my songs) while in the shower, then 2 or 3 hours later the music was done, and it hasn't really changed since.

lyrics

LYRICS
---------
you can't really blame me for acting naturally
it's not like you've never had it done to you before
you must've been waiting for anyone to fall in love with
but no fade-in leaves me longing for the distance
and heading for the door

i know you're feeling close to me
your heart is beating close to me
i hear you breathing close to me
shame i'll be leaving b-b-baby

so sorry i've been leading you along
letting you think i'll stick around
and making you fall for me
can't say i'm proud
i try not to let emotions make decisions
i'll sneak away in the night like a thief

and for the record you came on too strong
and far too quickly

i know you're feeling close to me
your heart is beating close to me
i hear you breathing close to me
shame i'll be leaving b-b-baby

and for the record
you came on too strong, far too quickly
don't blame yourself, it's probably all my fault
it must be just too easy to love me

i know you're feeling close to me
your heart is beating close to me
i hear you breathing close to me
shame i'll be leaving b-b-baby
