You put my heart in a cage
I'm not walkin' away
We're so close
Yet so far
I'm reachin' out to your hands
Only you understand
We're so close
Yet so far
Yeah
I had a dream that we talked about it
You were sittin' in front of me
I looked you in the eyes and told you
All about it from a place of growth
And my third winter alone
Yeah
You saw the passion
That it has
Nothin' to do with physical attraction
Beautiful of course but
April I knew soon as your
Face lit up our first time meeting
I was walking towards the woman
I would marry
Hasn't quite turned out the way
I forecasted but what was casted did
Bring me happiness that
No one could have
It happened fast like a reaction
When impulses in the moment
Can control your every action and
No director yellin' cut
Had us in the absence of a rational reception
To what seemed radical
Our average interaction lasted an hour
And a half when on the phone
In-person contact felt hollow
We ain't connect the same but
Baby that don't mean I never wanted
What we painted on our socials
To become exactly the creation
Both of us were vocal bout
Through our relationship's duration
You put my heart in a cage
I'm not walkin' away
We're so close
Yet so far
So far yet so close yeah
I'm reachin' out to your hands
Only you understand
We're so close
Yet so far
Yeah
I get why you texted me once randomly
The pic of us from New Year's Eve
To trouble me
And why you put the space between us
That you did on Spring Break
I was heartless like a tin man
Immature and look my tone was
Condescending
Not defending my behavior
I just hate the way you're on another planet
Even though you still live minutes from me
Might as well be out the country
Our love was like bungee jumping
Fell hard but would rise as quick as
Its descent and
Things we had in common were not much
But I loved everything that you loved
Cause I'd see what they meant to you
So I learned to embrace em too
Yeah
Every word I say to you is not
To make up an excuse for why I
Waited til Sunday to
Let you know I'm all in
Til The End babe
If my dream came true
It'd end with your lips pressed on mine
Like we could kiss for one last time
I'd fly out this abyss and lift you with me
I can only pen the truth
A happy me means I have you
I'm asking for a second chance
To prove how madly I'm
In love with you
You put my heart in a cage
I'm not walkin' away
We're so close
Yet so far
So far yet so close yeah
I'm reachin' out to your hands
Only you understand
We're so close
Yet so far
I miss you
