Track Name: So So Close
How unexpected
And sweet
And cool
To get a smile and a day with you
But it was nothing
It was nothing
I had to play everything just right
I was an island when you stayed the night
But it was nothing
It was nothing

And I will hold out my desperate hand
And I won't understand:
This was never close.
Hold out the rest of my days
I will go to my grave thinking:
So so close.

You said some nice shit about my eyes
While your hand brushed against my thigh
But it was nothing
It was nothing

And I will hold out my desperate hand
And I won't understand:
This was never close.
Hold out the rest of my days
I will go to my grave thinking:
So so close.

I let you go
And I begged you back
Then I let you go again
And I begged you back
Then I let you go again
And I begged you back
Then I let you go again
And you never came back.

And I will hold out my desperate hand
And I won't understand:
This was never close.
Hold out the rest of my days
I will go to my grave thinking:
So so close.
Track Name: When I Step Off The Train
I can feel a subtle change
When I step off the train
In the quality of the light
In the thickness of the air
Everything is cool and clean
Like the pavement after the rain
The tiny line above your smile
Like the breeze that seems to be blowing through your hair
Even when the world around us is perfectly still
And if you confide in me
What you need your man to be
I swear that I will
I swear that I will
I swear that I will.

I can feel a subtle change
When I step off the train
In the tempo of my heart
In the temperature of my skin
In the radius of my iris
Just to let your radiance in
Like when we hold each other good night
And as if to see whether we turn in for a kiss
Suddenly the world around us gets perfectly still
And if you can find in me
What you need your man to be
I swear that I will
I swear that I will
I swear that I will.

I can feel a subtle change
When I step off the train
But at the end of the night
Turn an inch to the right
And you might change everything.
