"Just Close Enough" lyrics

"Just Close Enough"

We sparked something here once
Who's to say we can't do it again?
They say Hemingway once slept here
And if the world was flat, maybe this is where it ends
We took our love for granted
Boxed it up and put it on a shelf
We got lost in the chaos
Never thought we'd lose ourselves

It's like we're speaking two different languages
I see your lips are moving, don't hear a word you say
Are we calling it quits or are we saving it?
We're just close enough to be too far away
Always just close enough to be too far away

Drowning in overtime, raising a couple kids
Ignoring our problems just like our parents did
I wish someone would have warned us
Took love thirty years to let us know
That the flower you don't water is the flower that won't grow

It's like we're speaking two different languages
I see your lips are moving, don't hear a word you say
Are we calling it quits or are we saving it?
We're just close enough to be too far away
Always just close enough to be too far away

It's a million miles
To the other side of the room
And it might take a while to get there
But I swear I'll get there soon

Yeah, we might be speaking two different languages
I see your lips are moving, wanna hear the words you say
Are we calling it quits or are we saving it?
We're just close enough to be too far away
Always just close enough to be too far away
