Not So Far Away
[Verse 1]
You were always on the edge startin' up a fire
I was working so hard walkin’ on a wire
You had a way about you girl
Ready to take on the whole damn world
I was a couple years behind

[Verse 2]
I was playin it cool, living by the book
You were cussin' up a storm, throwing left hooks
Whenever I'm giving up inside
I remember that fearless in your eye
I’m glad I've got some of that in mine

[Chorus]
Hey, I wish we were closer
Maybe when we're older
We can love, we can laugh together
Do you know how bad I want to
The more I think about you?
Maybe we're not so far away

[Verse 3]
I used to think you and me, we were day and night
I was keepin' the peace, you were picking the fight
Now we're living 2,000 miles apart
But you're still in my dreams stealin' my heart
Even after all this time
[Chorus]
Hey, I wish we were closer
Maybe when we’re older
We can love, we can laugh together
Do you know how bad I want to
The more I think about you?
Maybe we’re not so far away

[Bridge]
We were young and we were broken
Didn't know how to love
Now we’re healing and our hearts are open
I can't help it

[Chorus]
I wish we were closer
Maybe when we're older
We can love, we can laugh together
Do you know how bad I want to
The more I think about you?
Maybe we're not, oh
Hey, I wish we were closer
Maybe when we’re older
We can love, we can laugh together
Do ya know how bad I want to
The more I think about you?
Maybe we're not so far away
[Outro]
Maybe we're not so far away
Maybe we're not so far away
