Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Headlights on the wet road
Your name on my tongue
I pass that old diner
Where we used to run

The seat next to me is empty
But it still feels full
Of your jacket in July
And the things I never pulled

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep circling back
To the words you said
“Don’t make this harder”
Still live in my head

And I swear I’m fine
Then your song comes on
Now I’m lost in a mile
That goes on and on

[Chorus]
I want you
Can’t have you
I want you
Can’t have you

I keep driving by
That same old moon
I want you
Can’t have you

(too close, too far)
(too close, too far)

[Verse 2]
Red brake lights fading
Like a promise gone thin
I see your porch glow
Then I never pull in

My hands stay steady
But my heart won’t stay
Every turn I take
Leads me back to that day

You were almost mine
That’s the cruelest part
Now the freeway keeps
What you left in my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep circling back
To the words you said
“Don’t make this harder”
Still live in my head

And I swear I’m fine
Then your song comes on
Now I’m lost in a mile
That goes on and on

[Chorus]
I want you
Can’t have you
I want you
Can’t have you

I keep driving by
That same old moon
I want you
Can’t have you

(too close, too far)
(too close, too far)

[Bridge]
If I stop, I know
I’ll call your name
And the whole night air
Will say it back the same

So I let the road
Take the ache I hide
With your ghost in the glass
And the dark outside

[Final Chorus]
I want you
Can’t have you
I want you
Can’t have you

I keep driving by
That same old moon
I want you
Can’t have you

I want you
Can’t have you
I want you
Can’t have you

(too close, too far)
(too close, too far)
