Close To Me: Gothic Americana Song About Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back

I wrote this song many years ago when I would stay up all night with a friend. I had feelings but I couldn't express them. I don't know if he ever returned the sentiment as we were virtually incapable of communicating with one another. The mystery was never solved.

Wasted the night again
Counting the stars
Dreaming on the brightest ones
Wishing that I had your heart

But it don't matter
Cause I'll have you anyhow
As long as you're close to me
As long as you're close to me

There's no articulation
Of anything we feel
And there's nothing to suggest
That this is even real

But it don't matter
Cause I'll have you anyhow
As long as you're close to me
As long as you're close to me

Cause when you're lonely
You crave another's touch
And I've craved yours baby
Though you don't even like me much

But it don't matter
Cause I'll have you anyhow
As long as you're close to me
As long as you're close to me
