Closer

I met her in the fall
Before I'd risk it all
Thought she was just a friend

Wish we were in the sheets
Drinking whiskey neats
I was playing pretend (it was all in my head)

I see her walking around inside my brain
She built a house in my head
And she knows that she's welcome to stay up there
As long as she makes her bed

All these feelings I cannot hide no more
Just had to let you know
I see you undress inside my mind again
Do you think that they know
Do you think that I
Could give us a try
I think that we could get closer
If you don't agree
Then why are you on your knees
Asking can we grow older

What if this is a lie
And we've been chasing a high
That's far below ground (I'll start to dig my grave)
Up and down we go
Maybe love is a ghost
That's why you don't make a sound (shh)

I see her walking around inside my brain
She built a house in my head
And she knows that she's welcome to stay up there
As long as she makes her bed

All these feelings I cannot hide no more
Just had to let you know
I see you undress inside my mind again
Do you think that they know
Do you think that I
Could give us a try
I think that we could get closer
If you don't agree
Then why are you on your knees
Asking can we grow older

Everything that you told me was just another lie
I still see you at that party with the smoke in your eyes

Can you fall into me
I'll catch you from our tree
And dust off your shoulder
And if you can't stand
You can hold my hand
And we can take it slower

All these feelings I cannot hide no more
Just had to let you know
I see you undress inside my mind again
Do you think that they know
Do you think that I
Could give us a try
I think that we could get closer
If you don't agree
Then why are you on your knees
Asking can we grow older
