Take the long way back to me It's the wrong way, it has to be You pull up in your car and you sit out in the driveway Keep the lights on like you're still out on the highway Practice in the mirror, everything you wanna say Hope you come inside, tell me that you wanna stay I feel alone when you get too close to me It looks wrong, but we're just too close to see It's cliche, but the writing's on the wall Now I wonder why you even came home at all (When you get too close to me) Behind closed doors, it's a black hole It's an old war with old souls There was a place in my heart that only you could get to Now you feel more like a stranger than before I met you Let me hear the words, everything you never say But I hope you never let go when I push you away I feel alone when you get too close to me It looks wrong, but we're just too close to see It's cliche, but the writing's on the wall Now I wonder why you even came home at all (Feel alone-) (When you get too close to me) Have we lost who we are Tryna save what we have? Tell each other it's love Even though it feels bad We should run for our lives We should never look back We're just too close to see Being close makes us sad (Being close makes us sad) (Being close makes us sad) (Being close makes us sad) (Being close makes us sad ...)
