closer

Jimmy Eat World

everyday I get a little closer, dear
will you love me darling, when I get there
I'll need sunshine
I'll need rest
pour us whiskey, water-kissed

remember me
she said, smiling
write my name somewhere safe
touch and taste fades with space
I'll never be who you'll dream

everyday I try a little harder, dear
but those things you do...
I don't want to hear
you'll have yours and I'll have mine
no one guilty
no one right

everyday I get a little closer, dear
going to drive fast
all right until I get there
not much time we can waste
nothing pretty left to say
