Maybe we'll never be seen together At night on a crowded street I may never reach across your body And kill the light when you're asleep Maybe I'll never watch you dressing I won't sound too familiar on the phone But I can touch your hand accidentally And take that moment home That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you I won't be there when you need holding But I'm sure that he can pull you through But I can sing this song to everybody And pretend it's not about you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to Yeah that's as close as I'll get to That's as close as I'll get to loving you
