The Closest I Can Get

from Burden of Belief by Hugh Christopher Brown

/

lyrics

Melting April snow
Signs of Christmas in the compost
Where did the winter go?
I just remember almost

It was hard
Holding out for something you don’t know
But it’s how I mean to love

Watch the flowers grow
From the seeds that we’d forgotten long ago
That was dead and now it’s rotten

It can’t be easy
Keeping up with something you can’t see
Now my friends call me slow, but I know they’re being pushed

You know it’s hard
Holding out for something you don’t know
But it’s how I mean to love

A kitchen radio
A pencil and a headache
The dream I wasn’t born
The longing and the heartache

Is it wrong to miss somebody that you never met?
It’s how I mean to love/ or
The closest I can get
