Close Enough

Green eyes catch mine in the mirror

and I’m back to what once was

empty bar, I lean in closer

It ain’t her

but close enough

Hotel lobby, awkward silence

the price you pay for one night love

Tan skin brown against the pillow

It ain’t him

but close enough

And the words they flow like water

All the love I’d bottled up

It sets me free until the next time

When it ain’t her

but close enough

Skin on skin, rolling thunder

Bible closed inside the drawer

I close my eyes, lightning flashes

It ain’t him,

but close enough

Slip out of bed as the day breaks

find my hat, look back once more

blond hair spills across the pillow

It ain’t her

but close enough

Last night’s words they flowed like water

All the love time bottled up

It Set me free until the next time

When it ain’t him

but close enough

When it ain’t her

But close enough

Another it ain’t you

but close enough
