The Closeness - All The Right Moves

Alex slams the door

Cries out loud

Throws his fist into the wall

Falls down as tears crawl from his eyes

The summer night that felt so right

When he reached out to hold her hand

The thought was haunting him alive

The chance he thought he’d never have

To hold her heart and hand again

Turns out to be something he’ll never have

It seems that Sarah moved,

Went to school

Hooked up with the new boy in town

And left the other one behind

So Alex waited two more years

In hopes and dreams and vacant fears

That maybe one day he would catch her eye

And Alex wrote a note that told:

The closeness that I get from you

Is like the feeling of the first man to walk the moon

And it’s so unreal

But I suppose you don’t have a clue

The city sleeps and so do you

But my god, I’m wide awake and I’m watching you

And it’s so surreal

But it feels so real

Sarah gets the note

Reads it twice

Then she breaks down and cries

She never knew he felt that way

It’s too late for them anyway

There’s 50 states that separate

And oceans that stand in their way

So Alex hits the bottle hard

Gives out his things, his clothes, his car

Has plans to make this all go away

The bottle hits the floor

And rolls along the wall to where it meets

The mess of pills he planned to dissipate

The next day Sarah gets a call

And flies in for the funeral

At which she sadly stands to give a speech

Shaking, she goes on to read:

(Whitney Wiatt):

The closeness that I get from you

Is like the feeling of the first man to walk the moon

And it’s so unreal

But I suppose you don’t have a clue

The city sleeps and so do you

But my god, I’m wide awake and I’m watching you

And it’s so surreal

But it feels so real to me

I’m barely breathing

In fear of waking you

I’m barely breathing

Tonight, tonight

The closeness that I get from you

Is like the feeling of the first man to walk the moon

And it’s so unreal

But I suppose you don’t have a clue

The city sleeps and so do you

But my god, I’m wide awake and I’m watching you

And it’s so surreal

But it feels so real to me
