The Closest Thing
The Juliana Theory Lyrics

You're the words that come out easy,
You are articulate and are good at conveying your thoughts and emotions.

And I am speechless at best.
I struggle with finding my words and expressing my feelings towards you.

Your star it seems to shine above the rest.
You are a standout and shine in whatever you do.

You're the face before the cameras,
You are always in the public eye and under the spotlight.

The smile I'd like to earn.
I am drawn to your warmth and kindness.

The closest thing to perfect,
You are almost flawless and have many admirable qualities.

In a hollywood to burn.
In a place where people's dreams and reputations can be easily destroyed.

You're the beauty that is deeper,
Your beauty is more than just skin deep.

Than eyes can merely see.
Your beauty is not just on the surface but also in your character.

The closest thing to perfect.
You are almost perfect and have many amazing qualities.

But the farthest thing from me.
But we are so far apart and I feel like I don't stand a chance with you.

[Chorus x2] I'd love to be, The shoulder that you cry on.
I wish I could be there for you when you need someone to lean on emotionally.

I'd love to be, The friend you call when things are great.
I wish I could be someone you share your good news and moments of happiness with.

You're the dream that hasn't ended,
I still have aspirations and hopes of us being together.

And I'm still anxious for rest.
I'll continue to feel uneasy and nervous until I can make those dreams come true.

Your words they seem to hang above my head.
I can't seem to forget what you've said and it stays with me, almost haunting me.

You're the bud before the flower,
You are still growing and blossoming into who you are meant to be.

Unfurls into full bloom.
You are becoming more and more beautiful and captivating as time passes.

Captivating beauty,
You have a charm and grace that draws people to you.

But it maybe all too soon.
But that beauty might not last forever and it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

You're the song that writes a story,
Your life and experiences are an inspiration and can teach us many lessons.

But leaves a lot to read.
But there are still many unanswered questions and unknowns in your story.

And like I really deserve a chance to,
I feel like I am worthy of an opportunity to show you how much you mean to me.

Sit across the table,
To have a face-to-face conversation with you.

And tell you that I think you're wonderful.
To express my admiration for you and all that you are.

And I think you're something special.
To tell you that you have qualities and characteristics that make you unique and remarkable.

I guess this is my only chance to,
I feel like this might be the only opportunity I have to express my feelings to you.

Say I wish I knew you,
To tell you that I admire you and wish we could be closer.

Because I'm sure you're wonderful,
To express my belief that you are an amazing person.

If I'd get to know you.
To express my desire to get to know you better.
