Getting Closer Lyrics by Phantom Wilds

2018

Photographs
That I took of you and all your friends
In your room, your baby blues like adrenaline

Three years after the first time
I’ve got yours and you’ve got mine
‘Cause maybe we’re not lovers but we’re not just friends

And I, you know I can’t fight this
How do we start all over? How do I forget about forever?
I’m asking why, why are we like this?
What is it gonna take for us to give it up and get together?


‘Cause you said, you said that I was what you wanted
You said, you said that I was just enough to hold you over
You said that we were getting closer to moving on
And I knew, I knew that you were sort of troubled
I do, I do remember all the other times we’ve said this
You promised me that this was different

Sneaking out
We didn’t want anyone to know
It’s like being famous and we couldn’t take this pressure at all
Who am I, enough to be standing here with you tonight
This dorm room and your new tattoo we never get it right

‘Cause you said, you said that I was what you wanted
You said, you said that I was just enough to hold you over
You said that we were getting closer to moving on
And I knew, I knew that you were sort of troubled
I do, I do remember all the other times we’ve said this
You promised me that this was different

And I, you know I can’t fight this
How do we start all over? How do I forget about forever?
I’m asking why, why are we like this?
What is it gonna take for us to give it up and get together?

‘Cause you said, you said that I was what you wanted
You said, you said that it was just enough to hold you over
You said that we were getting closer to moving on
And I knew, I knew that you were sort of troubled
I do, I do remember all the other times we’ve said this
You promised me that this was different
