Closer to You - Song.a.Day

It's hard to let the miles pass me by

Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes

And when the seasons change again

Then I will too

But I just want to be closer to you

I'm staring out at endless rows of green

There are miles of hay like I've never seen

Just when you think you've had enough

Your dreams come true

I just want to be closer to you...

...Someday we might learn to tell the truth

We might even find the fountains of our youth

We all needed something real

We all need proof

But I just want to be closer to you

I only want to be closer to you.

-Closer to You by Brandi Carlile

This song reminds me of summer. In fact, summer '08 when I took a handful of classes at the University of Utah. I would roll down the windows in my classic 1995 Saturn to conserve gas (that was the expensive summer -- $4/gallon) when I drove to campus. When Closer to You came up on my summer playlist, I'd crank it up and sing along.

Good times.
