[Matt Nathanson, Sara Watkins - Coming Up Close lyrics]
One night in Iowa, you and I
In a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer
Promises on every star out in the distance
I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back
A weekend's worth of sadness
There was a farmhouse that had
Long since been deserted
We stopped and carved our hearts
Into the wooden surface
We thought just for an instant
We could see the future
We thought for once we knew
What really was important
Coming up closе, everything sounds like
Wеlcome home, come home and oh, by the way
Don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
It felt somehow, you already knew
We got back in the car and
Listened to a Dylan tape
We drove around the fields until
It started getting late
And I went back to my
Hotel room on the highway
And you just got back in
Your car and drove away
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home and oh, by the way
Don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
I felt somehow, you already knew
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home, come on home
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh do oh, oh
In a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer
Promises on every star out in the distance
I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back
A weekend's worth of sadness
There was a farmhouse that had
Long since been deserted
We stopped and carved our hearts
Into the wooden surface
We thought just for an instant
We could see the future
We thought for once we knew
What really was important
Coming up closе, everything sounds like
Wеlcome home, come home and oh, by the way
Don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
It felt somehow, you already knew
We got back in the car and
Listened to a Dylan tape
We drove around the fields until
It started getting late
And I went back to my
Hotel room on the highway
And you just got back in
Your car and drove away
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home and oh, by the way
Don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half awake come true?
I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
I felt somehow, you already knew
Coming up close, everything sounds like
Welcome home, come home, come on home
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh do oh, oh
