Post 748: Close to Love (11/19/98)

1   CLOSE TO LOVE (11/19/98)

(I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE TO LOVE

MOST EVERY THOUGHT IS OF YOU

I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO KEEP YOU HERE WITH ME

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY 

THAT ISN'T GOING TO SCARE YOU AWAY

I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE TO LOVE)

WHEN YOU ARE WITH ME SOMETIMES I TAKE TOO SERIOUSLY

I SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY 

BECAUSE I WANT YOU HERE WITH ME BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO

AND THINK THAT YOU'RE GONNA PUSH ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE 

(CHORUS)

THESE FEELINGS I GET WHEN I THINK OF YOU SCARE ME SENSELESS

I WANT TO LIVE THE DREAM SO BAD

BUT I'M RACKED WITH DOUBT YOU DON'T FEEL THE SAME WAY 

(CHORUS)

THE REJECTION I COULDN'T TAKE, 

I OFTEN FEEL IS ONLY MINUTES AWAY

I'M TRYING TO KEEP MY HEART FROM BREAKING

LYING IN SPLINTERS ON THE FLOOR

SO WHEN I DETACH MYSELF OR PUSH YOU AWAY

I STILL LOVE YOU, 

BUT I'M SO SCARED

(CHORUS)

I SOMETIMES DISTANCE MYSELF EMOTIONALLY

SO YOU CAN'T HURT ME

SO I CAN GO ON ANOTHER DAY

BUT THE DREAMS PUSH ME ONWARD
