Maybe we'll never be seen together

At night on a crowded street

I may never reach across your body

And kill the light when you're asleep

Maybe I'll never watch you dressing

Or sound too familiar on the phone

But I can touch your hand that's against me

And take that moment home

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do

I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

I won't be there in the old age,

But I'm sure that he can pull you through

But I can sing this song to everybody

And pretend it's not about you

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do

I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do

I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know

That's as close as I'll get to loving you

That's as close as I'll get to

Yeah that's as close as I'll get to

That's as close as I'll get to loving you
