It's not so much that we got closer
it's that her face just got bigger
and by the time it was filling up my whole view
i figured my face had gotten bigger too
so i used it to try and sway her
say something to her
make my case
but my face
never had a chance
all along it was the wrong song and dance

i just stood there
without even a stance
helpless to he advance
and her retreat
backspace, delete

it wasn't so much that we fell in love as
my life just seemed to come down
to a slow walk on a straight line
between her smile and her frown
and maybe we never were as close
as we should have been
but i didn't know what i know now, then
yeah, i didn't know what i
know now, then
