Supposed to Be Close to Me

The eclipse behind the clouds
 Cast a coolness over our backyard
 And I turned to you but you'd gone inside
 Don't you want to be here with me?
 Are you here with me? You oughta be
 And the afternoon fell down
 If there were peepers, they didn't make a sound
 And I hate to be the one to say it
 But you're supposed to be close to me
 Are you close to me? You're supposed to be
 I'd been living with a ghost
 Familiar shadow in a room
 I gave it everything I've got
 Or so I thought
 The silent days glide by
 Canoes on a lake beneath a morning sky
 But no change would come with the rising sun
 When the day is done I could been anyone
 I could be anyone when the day is done
 Maybe I had been the ghost
 A piece of furniture in the room
 I gave it everything I've got
 Or so I thought
 Maybe my greatest fault is all the presumptions that I make
 Maybe you had stepped away
 Cause you took all that you could take
 Maybe my claim to fame is not accepting any blame
 Maybe you had gone inside
 Just for a little peace and quiet
 Cause I always kill the moment by saying
 You're supposed to be close to me
 Are you close to me? You're supposed to be
 Or so I thought
