So Close

Oncoming traffic drowned the sound out 
 From my apologetic tone and left you staring at me 
 From across the road I thought we both had crossed 
 Another case of absent-mindedness on someonea€™s part 
 Another failed connection 
 Ia€™ve never felt the burn of so many eyes, so non-existent, non-existent 
 You leave me, a perfect evening, but things just change like altitude 
 I go from savage disregard to worrying if Ia€™ve been rude 

 So can you meet me in the middle? 
 Can you meet me in the fucking middle? 
 I sway so often side to side 
 Back and forth past the middle I cana€™t find 
 I always try to be the wolf who doesna€™t bite 
 To stop hating what I love in all your sides 

 Oncoming traffic-severed evenings 
 And Ia€™ve never felt the burn of so many non-existent eyes 
  
 Ia€™ve never felt the burn of so many non-existent eyes 
 No onea€™s on first and as the lights they go down 

 But can you meet me in the in-between? 
 No onea€™s on first and the lights are going down 
 Can you meet me in the in-between? 
 No onea€™s on first and the lights are going down 
 Can you meet me in the in-between? 
 No onea€™s on first and the lights are going down 
 Can you meet me, can you? 

 Can you meet me in the middle? 
 Can you meet me in the in-between? 
 Pick one of the countless sides Ia€™ve seen 
 And promise me youa€™ll stop changing 
 Ia€™ll condition all my sides, and Ia€™ll go right on swaying 
 Lights go down
