(V1:)
I know that nothing can happen
That you have a someone
But when we're meeting the feeling that comes over me
I know what it means
I go and do what's in friendship
but friend, when you 'ppreciate it
I go down victim to thinking of being with you
But I'm not trying to
(Chorus:)
I want to be close enough
to show you a selfless love
I want to be close enough even if nothing more
(V2:)
Your voice, your hand on my shoulder
The hum when you're leaning closer
They're the reasons I come to these parties at all
When I'd rather not
The walls will make their own stories
But girl, I'm gon' ignore it
Their suspicions aren't worth missing you to disprove
I'll just tell the truth
(Chorus)
(I want to be close enough) To know what you're going through
(To show you a selfless love) Or the closest that I can do
(I want to be close enough) Even if nothing more
(I want to be close enough) To see you where you're going
(To show you a selfless love) Maybe my feelings are showing
(I want to be close enough) Even if nothing more
(Bridge:)
Time is short but life is long…
Closeness helps to carry on…
No regrets and broken bonds
Let's keep inside these lines we've drawn
I'll be strong, I'll be strong
I'll be strong…
And I'll be strong
(Chorus)
Ooh yeah, want to be, want to be
close enough even if nothing more
I want to be by your side everyday, everyday
yeah
enough
even if nothing more, nothing more
yeah
you’ll be in my heart forever
nothing more
