So Close

Who am I, that I would push back? Is that the loving thing? You made a bed for me to lie in You know I'm trying See, good men, they never look back And that's a salty sting You paved a road for me to walk on Yet I am not gone I'm combing through the clover for a four-leaf Check my pockets over & over Hoping you'd be calling for me I would take a maybe or a sure thing Check my pockets over & over & over It's like I told you, baby Not one thing that you said Was ever just a wasted breath It's living in, living in my head And making a home In places that you lit my hope I've never been, never been so close To move a man like a chess piece (Play 'em) That's not the loving thing (Not love) While I am bold enough to go there It goes nowhere (Nowhere) 'Cause I wanna tell you when we next meet (When we) I mean, God willing (Can we?) That I prayed only for your profit No matter what the cost to me is Madison, she knows just how to hold me She would let me stay here for longer But she knows I've got to go free She's the kind of lover that my soul needs Daylight's getting lower, lower & lower Wish I could show you, baby Not one thing that you said Was ever just a wasted breath It's living in, living in my head And making a home In places that you lit my hope I've never been, never been so close To coming correct I know that you were heaven-sent You're living in, living in an Echelon of your own Could anybody match your glow? I've never been (never been) so close Could anybody match your glow? I've never been... So close When we Can we? There's like this richness, though That I mean, I can't, I can't testify with experience Because I'm not old But there's a richness that I perceive To be present in older relationships Because of this, like, persistence And this, like, I'm deciding to love you everyday No matter how I feel about you Because I told you I would (I told you I would) Going all those years and still deciding to be with this person every You're making the concentrated choice to do that, like Man, that's prime I feel like that's prime Well, that's the place to get to, right there (Never been, never been, never been)
