Lyrics

Really wish that I could say
all the things that I’d rehearsed tonight
catch you slightly off your guard
have you laughing at my witty charm
even love, even love between
Lord, I wish that I could hold you tight

Highway underneath my car
feeling like it should be Christmas Eve
baby keep your lamplight on
don’t you hide it on account of me
oh, darling shine your light for me

Is this as close as I’ll get
to my love song for you?
Is this as close as I’ll get to you
my love, love song for you?

Don’t know why I’ve come this far
to listen to this midnight orchestra
crickets loud as on a mic
little lightning bus for us to catch
Won’t you come, won’t you come to me
baby, can’t you hear me when I call

Is this as close as I’ll get
to my love song for you?
Is this as close as I’ll get to you
my love, love song for you?

Read about it in your books
everyone has something they can hide
no one pays them any mind
even if it’s something unrestrained
even so, let me show you what I mean

Is this as close as I’ll get
to my love song for you?
Is this as close as I’ll get to you
my love, love song for you?
