about

"With a sound rooted in country and Americana, Riley places her enchanting vocals front and center. Her impassioned singing is accompanied by twangy guitar and soulful, almost spiritual harmonies. This song also showcases her penchant for writing infectious songs that resonate on a universally emotional level." - Glide Magazine

lyrics

Lately I, I've been trying
To get you off my record and off my mind
Running in place, I've memorized the ceiling
You know I'm too proud to call it quitting time

The years that change a person, the times that make it worth it
All those nights, I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it, he knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
I won't be surprised when you don't stay

Baby I, I've been lying
Telling you to get on out of here
And when you go I've been crying
Cuz I feel so much better when you're here

The years that change a person, the times that make it worth it
All those nights, I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it, he knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
I won't be surprised when you don't stay

I can't trust how I'm feeling when I'm feeling this way
It's late, I'm lonely and I'm wishing that I told you you could stay
Would stay....

Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
I won't be surprised when you don't stay
