It's been a while since we first met
Never thought it'd end up this way
Now I wanna see you every day
And your name is all I want to say
Why does it have to be so complicated?
And now that you've gone I just can't take it
So please tell me

Should I wait a thousand years?
To tell you how it really is
Can't you see that
Every time I see your face
I'm thinking
That you could be a little closer to me

I guess this is the only way
That I could find for you to hear what I've got to say
Cause I don't wanna be your friend
Don't wanna be the one you cry to
I wanna hold you in my arms at night
I wanna be the one who says it's gonna be all right
So please tell me

I know I never said a word to you
About the way I feel, I guess I knew
You needed space and time for something new
And I'm sorry for being so predictable
I just wanna be close to you
