Closest Thing to God - Robert Ethington

I took a break from the bottle But I taste you when I smell tequila I went and got a new apartment I think it's haunted 'cause I still feel ya Put some tears and some miles on this pick-up Cleared the walls, burned the pictures that I ripped up If you called me tonight, I think I wouldn't even pick up Or would I pick up? Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing Closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh I ain't sleeping in your t-shirt But it's in my top drawer, one day I'll throw it away Ain't taking that back road Where we first kissed, but I almost did today Do you know that your momma still texts me? Saying how much she hates that you left me Got you out of my head, so I never let it get to me Or does it get to me? Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh Tried everything, yeah, even quit drinking Turns out I can't quit feeling Hearts never heal, but I think mine's healing Some days I still can't help thinking Am I ever gonna get to get drunk downtown And hear our song and not break down? Am I ever gonna wake up next to someone new And see the sun rise and not see you? If it's never gonna be over, over I guess I'd have to take the closest thing The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure, oh-oh-oh The closest thing to closure

After last call when the bars have all closed They turn off the neon sign You told me, you're thinkin' that I should go home But I'm all alone tonight Remember the time you told me you were done Well, I already knew I could see it all over your face Could feel it all over you And you think it's funny? And darling, you still know me so well I'm out of my mind, walking into the dark Awaiting for sun to spill Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Don't you keep me waiting You're the closest thing to heaven Ooh-ooh, I'm never gonna get in Hoping that you'll save me You're the closest thing to heaven All of the sad songs and all of the wrongs Well, all the time you were right Forgive me for makin' you feel like the fool Now, I'm on my knees tonight And I think it's funny And that you think, you know me so well 'Cause you're on my mind Feels like all the time It's tearin' my world apart Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Don't you keep me waiting You're the closest thing to heaven Ooh-ooh, I'm never gonna get in Hoping that you'll save me You're my number one obsession Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Boy, you get me ready Hoping that you'll save me You're the closest thing to heaven

I only had one speed at 17 It was 95 in a 70 Like I had somewhere to be, stupid me Wrapped that truck right around a tree Walked away without a scratch on me Must have had an angel in the shotgun seat Holdin' me, watchin' over me Man... I just bow my head and pray, pray, pray, pray, pray Look around and give Him thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks For the good, for the bad, for the life that we have I can't explain I guess it's just a God thing, God thing, yeah It was later on, around 25 Still wild as hell, still starting fires 'Til Heaven sent me a pair of eyes Locked onto mine and changed my life Now she's the angel in my shotgun seat And every day still saving me Thankfully, sometimes I gotta stop I just bow my head and pray, pray, pray, pray, pray Look around and give Him thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks For the good, for the bad, for the life that we have I can't explain I guess it's just a God thing, God thing, yeah It's just a God thing, God thing, yeah It's just a God thing, God thing, yeah We just found out we got another angel on the way A perfect little miracle, no other way to say It's just a God thing Oh, you know it's just a God thing, yeah I just bow my head and pray, pray, pray, pray, pray Look around and give Him thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks For the good, for the bad, for the life that we have I can't explain I guess it's just a God thing, God thing, yeah I just bow my head and pray, pray, pray, pray, pray (I just bow my head) Look around and give Him thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks (Look around and give Him thanks) For the good, for the bad, for the life that we have I can't explain I guess it's just a God thing, God thing, yeah (It's just a God thing, yeah) I guess it's just a God thing
