We Were So Close

Summer I was working
So the Sun never showed
You were being patient
Scared of losing your cool
I was out there pleading
In an eccentric style
You saw it, babe

Well
I wanted attention
I wanted to know
I hated the idea of losing it all

It was never a casual feeling
I was in love with you the whole damn time
God, this can't be the way that we leave it
We were so close

I set aside my inhibitions
Full contritional vibes
You poured your heart out with your screaming
I was waving white
You called me a loser
I know that you won't change
It's not in you, babe

I wanted a throwdown
I wanted the fight
Why couldn't I have grown more
More of a spine?

It was never a casual feeling
I was in love with you the whole damn time
God, this can't be the way that we leave it
We were so close
(So close)

I wanna tear my skin apart
There's no dialectic approach to my thoughts
Oh, I know I could've done more
Am I wrong?

It was never a casual feeling
I was in love with you the whole damn time
God, this can't be the way that we leave it
We were so close
(We were so close)
