Lyrics
Close
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.
Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop
If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me
I think about it all the time
It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning
Here it comes, my peace of mind
Cause I'm close, so close, so close
I'm close, so close, so close
Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth
Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through
Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing
I've been keeping it inside
No one cares just how you got there
No one cares how hard you've tried
But you're close, so close, so close
You're close, so close, so close
Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts
Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught
And if you've got a secret
It's in me you can confide
And if we ever get split up
I'll always be on your side
Cause we're close, so close, so close
We're close, so close, so close
