The Closest Thing

You're the words that come out easy
 And I am speechless at best
 Your star, it seems to shine above the rest
 You're the face before the cameras
 The smile I'd like to earn
 The closest thing to perfect
 In a Hollywood to burn
 You're the beauty that is deeper
 Than eyes can merely see
 The closest thing to perfect
 But the farthest thing from me
 I'd love to be
 The shoulder that you cry on
 I'd love to be
 The friend you call when things are great
 I'd love to be
 The shoulder that you cry on
 I'd love to be
 The friend you call when things are great
 You're the dream that hasn't ended
 And I'm still anxious for rest
 Your words, they seem to hang above my head
 You're the bud before the flower
 Unfurls into full bloom
 Captivating beauty but it maybe all too soon
 You're the song that writes a story
 But leaves a lot to read
 The closest thing to perfect
 But the farthest thing from me
 I'd love to be
 The shoulder that you cry on
 I'd love to be
 The friend you call when things are great
 I'd love to be
 The shoulder that you cry on
 I'd love to be
 The friend you call when things are great
 And like I really deserve a chance to
 Sit across the table
 And tell you that I think you're wonderful
 And I think you're something special
 I guess this is my only chance to
 Say I wish I knew you
 Because I'm sure you're wonderful
 If I'd get to know you
