Getting Close (To You)

Intro

Loud crunchy guitar distortion starts

Verse 1

I used to watch you from across the hall

Just another shadow leaning on the wall

But yesterday you sat right next to me

And we talked about some show on the TV

My hands were shaking, trying to be cool

Feeling like a kid back in middle school

But you laughed at my joke, and you didn't run

I think the better days have just begun

Verse 2

Now we’re texting 'til the clock strikes three

About the music and the things we see

You sent a heart, or maybe it’s a blur?

I’m overthinking every single word

But when we walk, our shoulders almost touch

I never knew I’d like a feeling this much

The distance is shrinking, the wall is coming down

I’m the luckiest guy in this boring town

Chorus

Oh, I’m getting close, I’m getting near

And suddenly the world is looking crystal clear

I’m not the lonely guy I used to be

Because you’re standing right here next to me

Yeah, we’re moving fast, or maybe it’s slow

But I’m ready for wherever we go

Just you and me, and a guitar string

I’m ready for whatever this love will bring!

Verse 3

You asked to borrow my favorite old shirt

I’m so happy that it almost starts to hurt

We’re sharing headphones, listening to the beat

Walking down the center of the sunny street

Everything is changing, everything is new

And all I want to do is be close to you

Bridge

It’s not a dream, no it’s not a lie

I can see the reflection in your eye

No more hiding, no more "what if" games

I’m writing down our secret little names!

Break

Guitar Solo

SOLO GUITAR ONLY - NO DRUMS - NO BASS

Chorus

Oh, I’m getting close, I’m getting near

And suddenly the world is looking crystal clear

I’m not the lonely guy I used to be

Because you’re standing right here next to me

Yeah, we’re moving fast, or maybe it’s slow

But I’m ready for wherever we go

Just you and me, and a guitar string

I’m ready for whatever this love will bring!

Outro

Getting close to you...

Yeah, I'm getting close to you...

Just you and me!
