Too Close

Too Close [Verse 1] We were slow dancin’ in the back of that bar Same old place, same old songs, same old scars You laughed at somethin’ I don’t even remember now I just remember wantin’ you and wonderin’ how I told myself, “Don’t start this shit again” But then you reached over and grabbed my hand And for a minute everything felt easy and right Even though we both knew it wasn’t tonight ⸻ [Chorus] Girl, you’re too close, and I ain’t that strong I know damn well where this road goes wrong You look at me and my good sense disappears Like it never survived all these years I can hear things in the silence between us now Things neither one of us will say out loud I’m tryin’ like hell to keep control But you’re too close, and it’s gettin’ hard to let go ⸻ [Verse 2] You said, “We’re just dancin’,” with that little smile The one that always got me every damn time We talked about nothin’, but it wasn’t nothin’ at all Every step just made those old walls fall You got somebody waitin’ back at home Hell, so do I, and that should be enough alone But wantin’ somebody don’t care what’s right And that’s the part that’s eatin’ me alive tonight ⸻ [Chorus] Girl, you’re too close, and it’s wreckin’ me I keep wishin’ you were somebody I didn’t need I’m countin’ breaths, starin’ at the floor Tryin’ not to want you more You lean in like there ain’t a damn thing wrong Like we ain’t been fightin’ this for so damn long And we both know where this ends You’re too close to just be friends ⸻ [Bridge] Tomorrow we’ll probably blame the whiskey Pretend it was the music or bad timing We’ll tell ourselves whatever helps us sleep But the truth ain’t complicated, and it sure as hell ain’t cheap We still want each other That’s it ⸻ [Final Chorus] You’re too close, and it’s killin’ me tonight Tryin’ to do the right thing never felt this hard in my life Your hands pull me in, your words push me away And I’m stuck somewhere in between those things you say One bad choice is all it’d take To tear open wounds we barely escaped And I know better, God knows I do But you’re too close Too damn close And part of me still loves you
