closest i get

what if i wait and you don't show, if i left you half just to keep me whole, what if i held my breath so long, would you notice the silence had lasted so long, what if the closest i get to the moment is now, i have seen love come and go, i watched it pass with my heart held close, there's no easy way to know, if i'm looking back or i'm getting close, what if the closest i get to the moment is now, love it has no guarantees, which muse will lay its hands on me, we said the words we knocked on wood, and i'm still here waiting to see what could be. what if the closest i get to the moment is now?
