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.
CHORUS:
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.
CHORUS:
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 so close.
I’ve never been…
So close
When we… can we?
