never been closer 5.22.22

We were out to a good start
I was in with my whole heart
The first time that you kissed me, I felt butterflies
But I guess they flew away with the summer night
Like a carousel in quicksand
Like a last song with a good band
We could keep on dancin' 'til the lights get low
But we could call it quits and just go home

The beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're ridin' on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't saying it's over
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer

Like a Mustang that just won't run
Like a whiskey that won't get you drunk
Got one foot out, one foot in
Standing on the edge
Falling in or out of love again

The beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're ridin' on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't saying it's over
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer

(Never been closer)
To takin' my things out the drawers
And moving back to Texas
(Never been closer)
To sayin' forever no more
And makin' me one of your exes

The beat of my heart now
It's beating slower
The highs we're ridin' on are getting lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't saying "it's over"
But we've never been closer
(Oh, we've never been closer)
No, we've never been closer
(We've never been closer)
