Michael Mercer - close to my heart Lyrics

These past two years have been everything I could ever want
Oh how I wish that this open book never had to close
If I had control, you know I'd stay until I turned to dust
It breaks my heart to say these words but it's my time to go

I won't forget the times we sang together in the basement
Funny enough, I can't remember much that happened there
I'll always cherish the time that we spent out by the train tracks
I just wish that we could have a bit more time to spare

You know if I had a choice, then I'd be right back with you all in a heartbeat
So many emotions coursing through me, I don't know where to start
We think ourselves so young and unbreakable, but honestly, are we
Just know regardless of the mileage, you'll always be close to my heart

Intertwined, I once thought
Painted rain, through picture frame, I hear them sing
Connecting what I was taught
Silhouettes, they haunt again, through gust of wind in rainy spring
