Old Lovers / Close Lyrics

And I'm stuck with old lovers in my heart

But they're left to rot away

'Cause these ghosts they always stay

With my ice cream cone

Dancing on the telephone

To the melody of your voice

As I stand here tonight

Everything it feels just right

I could stay here my whole life

And I'm stuck with the choice of right or wrong

But neither of them will tell me their names

If I can hear you laughing

I know this is not the end

We've seen each other at our worst

No longer can pretend

That we are anything but capable

Of keeping ourselves stuck so miserable

If I can keep you laughing

At the stupid things I say

Then maybe we can make this work

You're more than just a friend

But patience grows thin when I'm in the room

Your smile's gone and I'm in solitude

Your smile's gone

And I'm the one to blame

My mind is lost

With all the thoughts left to say
