Lyrics

The Closest We’re Gonna Get

Verse 1
Thumbed a ride outside of town
Packed souvenirs and nowhere bound
Feel in the wrong place and at the wrong time
Like a poem without a rhyme

Pre-Chorus 1
Even in the darkest moment
I never wanted to leave us behind

Chorus 1
Come-on baby just admit it
I’m in a skin that just don’t fit
And I know you never wanted to hear it
But if this ain’t love it’s the closest we’re gonna get
If this ain’t love, it’s the closest we’re gonna get

Verse 2
When I left you storms came in the night
wishing it was all a bad dream by twilight
Loosing my faith from what you said to me
Leaving our future only heaven to see

Pre-Chorus 2
Even in the darkest moment
I never wanted to leave us all behind

Chorus 2
Come-on baby just admit it
I’m in a skin that just don’t fit
And I know you never wanted to hear it
But if this ain’t love it’s the closest we’re gonna get
If this ain’t love, it’s the closest we’re gonna get

Bridge
Sometimes on a lonely night I look up Texas sky
Counting one by one every star
And I wonder where we are…
Yeah I wonder where we are

Chorus 3
Come-on baby please admit it
I’m in a skin that just don’t fit
And I know you never wanted to hear it
But if this ain’t love it’s the closest we’re gonna get
If this ain’t love, it’s the closest we’re gonna get

Chorus 4/Outro
Yeah... We both just have to admit it … admit it
And I know we may not wanna hear it... or face it
There’s nothing wrong with us... its the closest we gonna get
There’s nothing wrong with us... its the closest we gonna get
There’s nothing wrong with us... its the closest we gonna get
