"Close Up"

I, I don't know if you'll call me again

Chasing rabbits don't usually end with

Happy ever after

And you make reality feel so bizarre

Just because of the person you are

And I'm asking all the questions, like

How can you get close to someone

You keep out of reach?

And where does that leave me?

'Cos you don't make it easy

Now I'm all close up

I can't tell if you need me

Or want me all that much

Did I mis-read completely every single touch?

Do you even see me?

Now I'm more than a voice on the phone

Now I'm here and we're finally alone

Why do we feel so distant?

You're treating me like I'm one of the rest

I feel stupid for wearing that dress

Yeah, I guess

I saw something you didn't, and

How can you get close to someone

You keep out of reach?

And where does that leave me?

'Cos you don't make it easy

Now I'm all close up

I can't tell if you need me

Or want me all that much

Did I mis-read completely every single touch?

Do you even see me?

'Cos you don't make it easy

Now I'm all close up

I can't tell if you need me

Or want me all that much

Did I mis-read completely every single touch?

Do you even see me?

Now I'm all close up

It don't look like love

And now I'm all close up

It don't look like love
