Lyrics
[Intro]
Billy, oh, Billy
Billy, oh, Billy
Billy, oh, Billy
Billy, oh, Billy
Billy, oh, Billy
Billy, oh, Billy
[Verse 1]
Is this just lust we feel?
If so, I'm grateful
I lived in fear of being bored
You leave me no choice
Let's make the same mistake twice
Let's not take our own advice
This is what we've got
I'm terrified, you're not
[PreChorus]
Billy, his eyes are like headlights
Can't see in the window of his fast car, she's the stoplight
Not turning red or green, yeah, she's gold and she's honest
Don't justify the reason, don't lie for a promise
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I come a little too close, should I back away?
Should I have listened to the things you used to say?
If I come a little too close, and nothing changed
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I come a little too close, should I walk away?
Something I could never gain
But in this, I am all in, all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
I'm all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
[Verse 2]
Get out of morning's reflections
I long to know your mother, and sister, and brother
I'll justify the reason for solving the problem
Here but you're much further than I was now hoping
[PreChorus]
Billy would be last to be furthest
Not throwing out the need to be honest
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I come a little too close, should I back away?
Should I have listened to the things you used to say?
Gave a little too much, and nothing changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I come a little too close, should I walk away?
Something I could never gain
But in this, I am all in, all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
I'm all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
[Bridge]
I'm a little too close, I might back away
Should I have listened to the things you used to say?
Oh, and nothing changed
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I come a little too close, should I walk away?
Something I could never gain
But in this, I am all in, all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
All in, all in
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a little too close
I'm a little too close
Something I could never change
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a little too close
I'm a little too close
I'm all in, all in
All this I'm certain of
