This Close

[Verse 1]
When everything happens at once
And that's what we love
You said you recognized me
Because we both live for the touch
Of the real thing
And I am with you
That night at the karaoke bar
Your face came out of the dark
Pasty white and glowing

[Chorus 1]
With some kind of knowing
That I know you had to do was sing
Thank you for understanding
Thank you for understanding

[Verse 2]
While you were waiting for me on the beach
I was driving down the highway with my head pressed at the window
Like preach, preach, preach
And we are waiting
And we are all waiting

[Chorus 2]
When I finally reached you, you we were so high
There was nothing left to do but sing to the sky
Thank you for understanding
Thank you for understanding

[Bridge]
When everything happens at once
And that's what we love
Are we really this close?
Or is it just the drugs?
You've been working yourself up into a state
Every since your daddy left
Who can wait
To believe

[Outro]
Love is a real thing
Love is a real thing
And we are waiting
And we are waiting
