Keep Us Close

Intro
Ohh Baby

Verse 1
Caroline, Caroline
You use to look at me and get so shy
Now when you look at me it makes you cry, Oh babe

Take your time, take your time
We didn't think that we would come this far
That we would make love underneath the stars

Girl when I seen you at the bar
Focusing on you wasn’t hard
I couldn't help but stare at ya
You were the one that I was after

Admiring you from afar
Who would've thought we’d fall apart after so many years
Just know that I..

Chorus
Tried to keep us close
But we failed to grow
Maybe we'll come back around
But for now
I'll be on the go
Back out in the cold
Cuz I need someone different now

Verse 2
This all could be so simple
If we went at my tempo
But I had to let go cuz we kept missing beats

I knew that this would happen
That we'd go out of fashion
And now we're falling apart
I told you what's on my heart
We can't take shots in the dark no more

Now you say I can't leave
You say that nobody’s ever done it like me
I wish I could give you all the things that you need
But lately I won’t come home and I'm talking in my sleep, it’s crazy

I've been having bad dreams
I see you lost some weight, you can blame that on me
I hate to see you cry
But you can't deny that I..

Chorus
Tried to keep us close
But we failed to grow
Maybe we'll come back around
But for now
I’ll be on the go
Back out in the cold
Cuz I need someone different now

Bridge
And we're holdin' on
Holding on to something that we're tryna feel
Something that we wish was real

Still we're holdin' on
Tryna be in that youthful love like we use to feel
But we know we should close the deal

Chorus
Tried to keep us close
But we failed to grow
Maybe we'll come back around
But for now
I'll be on the go
Back out in the cold
Cuz I need someone different now

Postlude
We live a lie, live a lie
But even then we still talk on the phone
Though when I'm with you I feel safe at home
