Why can’t I be close to you
What is it I am suppose to do
Why can’t I be close to you
What is it you want me to do
Why can’t I be?
Why can’t I be close to you close to you
Why can’t I be?
I know you’re watching me
I see you pop up in my feed
I don’t know what it’s suppose to mean
I wish you’d throw a sign at me
Why can’t I be close to you
What is it I am suppose to do
Why can’t I be close to you
What is it you want me to do
Why can’t I be close to you
Why can’t I get through to you
Why can’t I talk to you
Why can’t I get through to you
I can’t just walk away
Though you ignore me I still say “hey”
I don’t always know what to say
My body begs for me to stay
Why can’t I be close to you
What is it I am suppose to do
Why can’t I be close to you
What is it you want me to do
The signals that you send
They confuse me
Pierce right through me
I don’t want it to end
