Elyse Shackleton - Close

You stroke my cheek but there's no smile
You say it can't be like this anymore
One last kiss would be too much to ask so I
I just watch as you finally close the door
I really should be going
But I'm stuck 'cause you're holding me
Frozen with the things you left behind
I know I can't be hoping
Even though the wind is blowing
And it reminds me of that night

When you took my hand and you brought me close
You pulled my collar and I caught your coat
And I knew the days would show
You'd either stay or go
And your eyes caught light in a way that let me know
That would be my last chance to hold you close

I remember when you caught my eye
Something about your lack of peace of mind
You drew me in with words about your heartache
I should have known then that you would never stay
I really should be going
But there's something you should know and
I need the chance the finally speak
The night that you first kissed me
I knew what I was risking
But I dreamt about you every night that week

When you took my hand and you brought me close
You pulled my collar and I caught your coat
And I knew the days would show
You'd either stay or go
And your eyes caught light in a way that let me know
That would be my last chance to hold you close
Oh

That day you found me smiling
Oh, you asked me why and
I said that it was nothing
But you know I was lying
And that night you said you missed me
I knew this was too risky
I asked you what you wanted
I knew your heart is prone to wander
And that day that you came over
And you held me a little longer
In my heart I knew we'd go nowhere
'Cause your heart is prone to wander
And that day you held me closer
I knew we'd never quite have closure
I wish I could have been stronger
I knew your heart is prone to wander

When you took my hand and you kissed me slow
You pulled my heart and I just let it go
The worst part of this yet is that I know I can't regret
The way it felt when the rain hit our window
And I knew that was my last chance to hold you close
When you took my hand and you brought me close
You pulled my collar and I caught your coat
And I knew the days would show
You'd either stay or go
And your eyes caught light in a way that let me know
That would be my last chance to hold you close
