Came Close Songtext
von Nikita Karmen

Kissed me when you were drunk and spilled your truth
Gave me a single star, so I gave you the moon
Running round those streets around 2 a.m. like kids

Didn′t talk about forever, it was too far away
You had things you had to work through, and I wanted to wait
Hanging on the other end of a phone too long

And you came close
Kissed me 'til I felt it in my bones
Held me ′til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
'Cause I never fell in love
But I came close
Boy, I came close

With your hand behind the steering wheel, stealing a glance
Glimpses in that summer where I thought we had a chance
All our friends knew we were playing with fire
Getting burned was just a matter of time


And you came close
Kissed me ′til I felt it in my bones
Held me ′til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
′Cause I never fell in love
But I came close
Boy, I came close

All the would've beens (all the would′ve beens)
All the could've beens (all the could′ve beens)
Drive me out my mind some nights
So I don't go back there (I don't go back there)
And think about that year (think about that year)
Okay, maybe I do sometimes (sometimes)

When you came close
Kissed me ′til I felt it in my bones
Held me ′til the morning with my eyes closed
But I guess my heart knows something that I don't
′Cause I never fell in love

And you came close
Screaming out at me that you had told me so
We made love 'til the morning with my high hopes
But I guess my heart knows something that I don′t
'Cause I never fell in love


But I came close (drive me out my mind some nights)
But I came close (so I don′t go back there, think about that year)
With you, I came so close (okay, maybe I do sometimes)
I came so close (okay, maybe I do sometimes)
