I wish I could date you 
I wish I had the courage just to ask 
even if I had the nerve to 
well it would be a mountain of a task
when I think about it
I can only doubt it 
by crawlin’ in a ground pit 
I cannot get around this whole damn thing

I’m lookin’ at a rock too tall for me to climb 
or the kind of monster I can't fight 

I can strive I can strive 
but I Can't Get Close To You 
if I try even if I try 
I Can't Get Close To You 

I wish I could convince you
I wish you would try to hear me out 
even if I was to tell you 
well you would only think I talk too loud 
if I ask about it
would you be astounded 
what would it amount to 
would you shut me out to everything

like any bit of hope you'd ever say alright
or if you’d have me on your mind 


out of reach
the distance is too long  
unless you come to town 
and help me bring it on
