Close

It's just another simple voice mail message

I'll pick you up, and we'll do dinner by the fire

And we'll just watch it snow

It's from a year ago

Baby, I love you, and I can't wait to see you tonight

I've been thinking 'bout you all day long

She pushes nine to save

She still can't erase

'Cause it makes her feel close

Makes her smile, it's like he's

With her almost

'Til the tears take over

She's still in hell

But she tells herself

She's ready to let him go

'Cause that makes her feel close

It's just a worn out Notre Dame t-shirt

She's gotten mad and tried to throw that thing away

At least a hundred times

But she's got it on tonight

He used to wear it on the weekend just running around

Probably forgot he even left it behind

She says it keeps her warm

Oh, but it's so much more

It makes her feel close

Makes her smile, it's like he's

With her almost

'Til the tears take over

She's still in hell

But she tells herself

She's ready to let him go

'Cause that makes her feel close

Just sayin' goodbye

Gettin' on with her life

Maybe give love another try

One more try, one more try

It makes her feel close

Makes her smile, it's like he's

With her almost

'Til the tears take over

She's still in hell

But she tells herself

She's ready to let him go

'Cause that makes her feel, it makes her feel close

It makes her feel close, makes her feel

It's just a worn out Notre Dame t-shirt

She's gotten mad and tried to throw that thing away

At least a hundred times

But she's got it on tonight
