lyrics

We fell into friendship
Through mutual respect
She came out of nowhere
Went straight to my head

Our interests were similar, superficially
At least initially, something within her
Was loveable, loveable, loveable
From up close
From up close

We fell into friendship
And little much else
And after a year I
Crawled back to my shelf

Overfamiliar
She felt me to be
Lost all mystery
I couldn't be her
Loverboy loverboy loverboy
From so close
From so close

This was not what I'd been dreaming of
I thought we'd make it to True Love
This was not what I'd been dreaming of
I felt certain that she felt the same way as me
But I wasn't close

We fell out of friendship
I regret it now
I confessed my feelings
And she cut me out

We're no longer talking
I've not seen her for
Eighteen months or more
Still in my head we're walking
Arm in arm, arm in arm, arm in arm
So close
So close
