Close Enough

I walked you home So we could share a cigarette And I watched as you exhaled Could taste your lipstick on the tip As the streetlight flickered orange In the glow of amber fire And the sight of you Was burned into my eyes In cloudy mornings When the sky was drawn in ink From the space upon the floor Beside the bed where you would sing As the melody would rise and fall Like rain around again Oh the sound of it's Still stuck inside my head The sound of it's Still stuck inside my head It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now From the hall I saw your fleeting silhouette When I followed it to the top Could smell your perfume on the stairs In the way that you would lean in close But just to disappoint When she spoke It was in someone else's voice And when she spoke It was in someone else's voice It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now And when you dream Is it close enough And when you sing Is my name on the tip of your tongue And when you wake Does it go to waste With the ink and the smoke And the wish that you'd stayed It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now Faded glory now It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now It's just faded glory Just faded glory Just faded glory now
