Closer

March 18th, 2025 

I never thought we’d get close enough
But I learned the changes of your tone
From joking around in a group of people
To the disheartened frustration you’ve shown
The care when speaking to your sick dog
That I’d hear sometimes as you’d let me go
Distinguishable differences in your voice
That you let me close enough to know

Your Wish

2003 (6th Grade)

You don’t have to say it
I already know
You never have to
Put on a show

You never have to
Hide behind the curtain
Just come out here
And tell me yourself

[Chorus:]
If you wish on a shooting star – I’ll come
If you travel 1,000 miles to see me
I’ll give you my heart
If that is your wish

If you wished the same thing I did
Maybe you will see
It ain’t really easy
To be me

If I told you the other wish
It might come true
But then I’ll have to
Hide behind myself

[Chorus:]
If you wish on a shooting star – I’ll come
If you travel 1,000 miles to see me
I’ll give you my heart
If that is your wish

Maybe it’s fun to be embarrassed
You don’t know me
And I don’t know you
Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be

[Chorus:]
If you wish on a shooting star – I’ll come
If you travel 1,000 miles to see me
I’ll give you my heart
If that is your wish
