Close Enough
Longing for Proximity: Unveiling the Depths of 'Close Enough' by Jason Michael Carroll
Lyrics
I get 700 channels on my TV
I have access to 700 TV channels.
I got more things that any man needs
I possess more material things than necessary.
I've got friends to call when I wanna get buzzed
I have friends to call when I want to get intoxicated.
But I can't get you close enough
Despite my possessions and connections, I can't get close enough to you.
There ain't a place that's too far away
No location is too far, as I could travel today with a ticket.
Cause I could buy a ticket and leave today
However, I can't repair the mistakes I made.
But I can't fix what I messed up
I can't fix what I messed up in the past.
If I can't get you close enough
Without being close to you, fixing the past is impossible.
So many people in the world to love
There are many people in the world to love.
Crazy how my heart only wants one
Despite that, my heart desires only one person.
And I can't shake how good it was
I can't forget how good it was in the past.
Back when we couldn't get close enough
Back when we couldn't get close enough.
Yeah, my idea of love was wrong
My previous understanding of love was incorrect.
It all made sense when you were gone
It all made sense when you were absent.
I thought I gave you so much
I thought I gave a lot, but you wanted only closeness.
But all you really wanted was close enough
All you really desired was to be close enough.
So many people in the world to love
There are numerous people to love in the world.
Crazy how my heart only wants one
Despite that, my heart longs for only one.
And I can't shake how good it was
I can't forget how good it was in the past.
Back when we couldn't get close enough
Back when we couldn't get close enough.
All you ever wanted was for me to be there
Your desire was for me to be present.
Look in my eyes, know that I care
Look into my eyes and understand that I care.
I could never tell you what you needed to hear
I couldn't express what you needed to hear when you were here.
When you were right here
You were physically present, but I couldn't communicate effectively.
I can't fix what I messed up
I can't rectify past mistakes without being close to you.
If I can't get you close enough
Without proximity, fixing past errors is impossible.
