Coming Up Close Lyrics - Singles - Til Tuesday

One night in Iowa 

He and I in a borrowed car 

Went driving in the summer 

Promises in every star 

Out in the distance 

I could hear some people laughing 

I felt my heart beat back 

A weekend's worth of sadness 

There was a farmhouse 

That had long since been deserted 

We stopped and carved our hearts 

Into the wooden surface 

We thought just for an instant 

We could see the future 

We thought for once we knew 

What really was important 

Coming up close 

Everything sounds like 

Welcome home, come home 

Oh, by the way 

Don't you know that I could make 

A dream that's barely half-awake come true? 

I wanted to say 

But anything I could have said 

I felt somehow that you already knew 

We got back in the car 

And listened to a Dylan tape 

We drove around the fields 

Until it started getting late 

And I went back to my hotel room 

On the highway 

And he just got back in his car 

And drove away 

Coming up close 

Everything sounds like 

Welcome home, come home 

Oh, by the way 

Don't you know that I could make 

A dream that's barely half-awake come true? 

I wanted to say 

But anything I could have said 

I felt somehow that you already knew 

Coming up close 

Everything sounds like 

Welcome home, come home 

Coming up close 

Everything sounds like 

Welcome home, come home 

Come on home 

Ooh, ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh
