About

This song is about looking back on something that is over and remembering the moment you knew it was ending. It explores the strange dichotomy of a dynamic seeming okay on the surface while you know deep down, as a gut feeling, that it’s actually dying.

It is track three off of Elyse Shackleton’s d...

Close Lyrics

(Verse 1)
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

(Pre-Chorus 1)
I really should be going
But I'm stuck ‘cause you're still 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

(Chorus 1)
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

(Verse 2)
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

(Pre-Chorus 2)
I really should be going
But there's something you should know and
I need a chance to finally speak
That night that you first kissed me
I knew what I was risking
But I dreamt about you every night that week

(Chorus 2)
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

(Bridge)
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
Because 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
Because 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

(Chorus 3)
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

(Chorus 4)
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
And you just smiled and I knew you would let go
That would be my last chance to hold you close
