CLOSE ENOUGH

Verse 3

You said you loved me close enough

To keep me standing in the door

Half a heart is still a heart

I been rationing the more

I learned to call the almost home

I learned to sleep beside the maybe

Every time you almost stayed

I almost let you save me

Pre-Chorus

And I don't want the almost

I don't want the half

I don't want the shadow

Of a love I never had

But it's so warm in the almost

And it's so safe in the half

So I keep on almost leaving

And you keep on almost asking

Chorus

Close enough to hold me

Close enough to hurt me

Close enough to know me

But never close enough to stay

Close enough to call me

Close enough to want me

Close enough to change me

But never close enough to change

Post-Chorus

(Close enough)

Oh, oh, oh

(Never close enough)

Oh, oh, oh

Verse 4

I met the version of you

That only shows up when it's late

The one that holds my face and says

I'm sorry, just wait

And I been waiting like a church bell

Ringing for a faith that left

I been faithful to a promise

That you only almost kept

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I don't want the almost

I don't want the half

I don't want the shadow

Of a love I never had

But it's so warm in the almost

And it's so safe in the half

So I keep on almost leaving

And you keep on almost asking

Chorus

Close enough to hold me

Close enough to hurt me

Close enough to know me

But never close enough to stay

Close enough to call me

Close enough to want me

Close enough to change me

But never close enough to change

Bridge

So I'm drawing a line

Not in anger, not in spite

Just a hand on my own chest

Saying, child, you're worth the fight

You're worth a love that shows up

Worth a love that says the name

Worth a love that doesn't leave you

Almost every single day

Break

(Almost every single day)

Oh, oh

(Almost every single day)

Oh, oh

Verse 5

I ain't asking for perfection

I ain't asking for the sky

Just a love that says I'm staying

When the staying's hard to try

I don't need you on your knees

I don't need a grand display

I just need you here tomorrow

Not almost, not halfway

Final Chorus

Close enough is over

Close enough is done

Close enough is the lesson

That I finally outrun

You can call me when you're ready

You can call me when you're sure

But I won't be close enough

To be your almost anymore

Outro

(Close enough is over)

Oh, oh, oh

(Close enough is done)

Oh, oh, oh

(Close enough is over)

Oh, oh, oh

(Close enough is done)

Close enough is done
