[Verse] You said you'd call at nine But it was ten Promises and lies just blend again I wait around while you're out in a bar In this game of hearts Close but no cigar [Chorus] I keep reaching out And you're just too far Romance is a race And I'm left in my car Almost in your arms But just like a star In this love affair Close but no cigar [Verse 2] You whispered sweet nothings in the dark I fell for each word like a sparks’ arc But in the daylight You stray afar In this tightrope walk Close but no cigar [Chorus] I keep reaching out And you're just too far Romance is a race And I'm left in my car Almost in your arms But just like a star In this love affair Close but no cigar [Bridge] Holding hands in dreams But then I wake Illusions shatter Real hearts ache Footsteps in sand Tide waves wipe the mark In this love mirage Close but no cigar [Chorus] I keep reaching out And you're just too far Romance is a race And I'm left in my car Almost in your arms But just like a star In this love affair Close but no cigar
