Story Behind The Song
My girlfriend had just broken up with me and I was very upset. She was right across town and she seemed so close and she still felt so close to me so the words came pretty easily. This song wrote itself in about 20 minutes.

Lyrics
People change it happens all the time
They change their ways they change their minds
I changed for you you brought out the best in me
And you changed for me in ways I could not see
But how was I supposed to know that you had always planned to go
Chorus
And if I'm dreaming I know I'd dream of you
But I'm not dreaming cause I can't sleep and once again I blame you
And it used to be that you and me we could never be close enough
But now you just seem so far away
But you're still close enough
This isn't fair but I know life's not fair
I made you smile and I was always there
I did nothing wrong but yet still here I lay
Doing everything I can to not break down and cry
But what am I supposed to do
I don't know myself without you
Chorus
And I can touch you, I can taste you, I can feel you next to me
But when I wake up I'm reminded that you're only just a dream
And I could keep dreaming but girl I'm waking up
Cause it's almost like you're here with me but it isn't close enough
Chorus
You're still close enough
