about

Ironically, written over Skype about 600 miles apart by Jonathan Byrd and Anthony da Costa.

lyrics

Do you ever wanna stone me?
Do you ever think you're all grown up?
If you ever get lonely, I'm
close enough to touch,
close enough to touch.

Deep cover on a dark night
can't take away all my love.
Behind the clouds, I'm a satellite,
close enough to touch,
close enough to touch.

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me lovin you, lovin' you?

Can I turn it off?
Can I ever stop lovin you, lovin' you?

There's a ghost on the telephone.
Will it ever be good enough?
There's a voice on the radio,
close enough to touch,
close enough to touch.

I got my heart tied up with twine,
a bandana with all my stuff,
a red hawk in the western sky
close enough to touch,
close enough to touch.
