[Verse 1] Another "almost perfect" Didn't work, but totally worth it Better to have loved and lost my mind Than lose the nerve to even try Another conversation Awkward, but the ice is breaking I've been in some sh*t relationships But I've remained an optimist [Pre-Chorus] It's not a game I'm playing It's not a thrill I'm chasing More like a space I'm saving And I don't even know your name [Chorus] But if it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life Another bad first date (Check) Another "nothing left to say" (Check) What I mean is, the way I see it I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you [Verse 2] Hey baby, can I call you "baby?" Is that okay? I don't even know you, but I can't wait to know you someday Imagine someday when we look back I'll thank my past for giving me my future better half [Pre-Chorus] I'm sorry for the time it's taking But I'ma make it worth the waiting And all this wrong love that I learned from Was just practice for the right one [Chorus] If it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life Another "just got played" (Check) A shot of bourbon for the pain (Check) What I mean is, the way I see it I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you [Bridge] It's kinda strange to miss Someone I haven't met yet Someone I haven't kissed yet But I'll go through it all [Chorus] If it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life Another sad goodbye (Check) Another sleepless night (Check) What I mean is, the way I see it I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you, you, you One heartbreak closer to you
