Coming up Close Lyrics

[00:06.46] One night in Iowa, you and I, in a borrowed car
[00:12.79] Went driving in the summer, promises on every star
[00:19.57] Out in the distance, I could hear some people laughing
[00:25.29] I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness
[00:32.00]
[00:34.07]
[00:37.64] There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted
[00:43.90] We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface
[00:49.81] We thought just for an instant we could see the future
[00:56.29] We thought for once we knew what really was important
[01:03.61] Coming up close, everything sounds like
[01:12.03] Welcome home, come home
[01:18.81] And oh, by the way, don't you know that I could make
[01:26.34] A dream that's barely half awake come true?
[01:34.15] I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
[01:42.00] It felt somehow, you already knew
[01:50.28]
[02:16.62] We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape
[02:22.72] We drove around the fields until it started getting late
[02:29.26] And I went back to my hotel room on the highway
[02:34.82] And you just got back in your car and drove away
[02:42.46] Coming up close, everything sounds like
[02:51.00] Welcome home, come home
[02:57.69] And oh, by the way, don't you know that I could make
[03:05.65] A dream that's barely half awake come true?
[03:13.58] I wanted to say, but anything I could've said
[03:21.29] I felt somehow, you already knew
[03:29.45]
[03:32.35] Coming up close, everything sounds like
[03:40.54] Welcome home, come home, come on home
[03:52.65]
[03:57.44] Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
[04:03.74] Do-oh, oh
[04:07.25]
