Close But Nowhere Near
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
where are we going
well, place your bets
know all worth knowing
know nothing yet
full speed ahead
quickly, no-one's been
I don't know who you're racing
but let me know if you win
where are we going
well, place your bets
know all worth knowing
know nothing yet
we don't deal the deck
close but nowhere near
only play percentages
down here
we don't deal the deck
close but nowhere near
only play percentages
down here
close but nowhere near
don't deal the deck down here
close but nowhere near
