[Verse 1]
Kissed me when you were drunk and spilled your truth
Gave me a single star so I gave you the moon
Running 'round most streets around 2AM like kids
Didn't talk about forever, it was too far away
You had things you had to work through and I wanted to wait
Hanging on the other end of a phone too long
[Chorus]
And you came close
Kissed me 'til I felt it in my bones
Held me 'til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
'Cause I never fell in love
But I came close
Boy, I came close
[Verse 2]
With your hand behind the steering wheel stealing a glance
Glimpses in that summer where I thought we had a chance
All our friends knew we were playing with fire
Getting burned was just a matter of time
[Chorus]
And you came close
Kissed me 'til I felt it in my bones
Held me 'til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
'Cause I never fell in love
But I came close
Boy, I came close
[Bridge]
All the would've beens (all the would've beens)
All the could've beens (all the could've beens)
Drive me out my mind some nights
So I don't go back there (I don't go back there)
And think about that year (think about that year)
Okay, maybe I do sometimes (sometimes)
[Chorus]
When you came close
Kissed me 'til I felt it in my bones
Held me 'til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
'Cause I never fell in love
[Chorus]
And you came close
Screaming out at me that you had told me so
We made love 'til the morning with my high hopes
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
'Cause I never fell in love
[Outro]
But I came close
(Drive me out my mind some nights)
But I came close
(So I don't go back there, think about that year)
For you I came so close
(Okay, maybe I do sometimes)
I came so close
(Okay, maybe I do sometimes)
