[Verse 1] You knew me in pigtails And I knew your fake first name We traded lunchbox secrets On the cracked back steps in rain Bike rides to the corner store Knee scabs and penny gum You held my hair in the parking lot When the world got way too young We built forts in your basement With a blanket, tape, and chairs Played cards on your bedroom floor Like nothing in life could scare us there You still know how I take my eggs How I cry at bad movie lines And when I can't find my words at all You always read my mind [Pre-Chorus] You know my mom's old radio You know my scar, my laugh, my mess You show up with your sleeves rolled up Like you can fix the whole thing with your chest And I keep my heart on silent Act like it's just another day But every time you say my name I feel it start to say [Chorus] I want you close I want you close You feel like home to me I want you close I want you close But you're not mine to keep [Verse 2] We still drive down to the river Eat fries in your beat-up truck You tell me all about your girl And I smile like it don't cut up I know her name by heart now Know the way your face goes soft You love her like a Sunday song Even when she lets you down too much She leaves your calls on read again You stare at that screen too long I say, "Come on, let's get out of here" And you say, "With you, I'm strong" Late-night runs for gas station chips You hand me the hoodie off your back You always save me the front seat And I always save you from the lack [Pre-Chorus] You know my mom's old radio You know my scar, my laugh, my mess You show up with your sleeves rolled up Like you can fix the whole thing with your chest And I keep my heart on silent Act like it's just another day But every time you say my name I feel it start to say [Chorus] I want you close I want you close You feel like home to me I want you close I want you close But you're not mine to keep [Bridge] If she don't love you right Why does she get your whole sky? If I had one honest wish I'd be the hand you reach for at night But you still pick her shadow Even when it leaves you blue And I hate that I know your heart Better than I know what to do [Final Chorus] I want you close I want you close You feel like home to me I want you close I want you close But you're not mine to keep I want you close I want you close Still, I let you be
