It Could Have Been Close

It could have been close
It could have been touchy
It could have been close
It could have been such a surprise
It was a look in your eyes

It could have been close
It could have been touchy
It could have been close
It could have been such a surprise
It was a look in your eyes

Something you meant to do but never did
Something beyond the nerves of a kid
Ah, but the knowing of what could have been
Leads to the spot you're in

Something you knew but never could feel
Something you talked about that wasn't quite real
Ah, but the past smacks you square in the face
One foot ahead of the chase

It could have been close
It could have been touchy
It could have been close
It could have been such a surprise
It was a look in your eyes

Just when you thought you'd outgrown those days
Just when you promised yourself away
Up come the ideals of idle goes
Up comes the heart too close

Too much to feel in too short a time
Too short a call for more than a dime
Too much to say in not enough hours
Too much too often turns sour

It could have been close
It could have been touchy
It could have been close
It could have been such a surprise
It was a look in your eyes

It was a look in your eyes
It was a look in your eyes
