[Verse 1]
We were off to a good start
I was in with my whole heart
The first time that you kissed me, I felt butterflies
But I guess they flew away one summer night
Like a carousel in quicksand
Like the last song of a good band
We could keep on dancin' 'til the lights get low
But we could call it quits and just go home

[Chorus]
The beat of my heart now, it's beatin' slower
The highs we're ridin' on are gettin' lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't sayin' it's ovеr
But we've nevеr been closer
No, we've never been closer

[Verse 2]
Like a Mustang that just won't run
Like a whiskey that won't get you drunk
Got one foot out, one foot in, standin' on the edge
Fallin' in or out of love again

[Chorus]
The beat of my heart now, it's beatin' slower
The highs we're ridin' on are gettin' lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't sayin' it's over
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer
[Bridge]
(Never been closer) To takin' my things out the drawers
And movin' back to Texas
(Never been closer) To sayin' "forever" no more
And makin' me one of your exes

[Chorus]
The beat of my heart now, it's beatin' slower
The highs we're ridin' on are gettin' lower
We were on fire, but it's feelin' colder
Baby, I ain't sayin' it's over
But we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer
No, we've never been closer (No, we've never been closer)
