Close To You (They Long To Be)
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.
So whatever path we choose to take
There will be highs and there will be lows the same
Oh we’ll never run from our mistakes
The harder we fall, the harder we try
Ain’t it funny how we’re all afraid?
That tomorrow everything could change
We forget we gotta just enjoy the night, that’s right yea
Ain’t it funny how we’re all the same
Different story for a different name
We forget we gotta just enjoy the ride, tonight
Say you, you got to live your life
True, to how you feel inside
You, you got to live your life
Put your hands up, buckle up and fly
So whatever path we choose to take
There will be highs and there will be lows the same
Oh we’ll never run from our mistakes
The harder we fall, the harder we try
Have you ever nearly lost your mind?
Then realized it was a waste of time
Thinking about all the things you can’t control, oh no
Have you ever nearly gone insane,
Focusing on what you can’t explain?
It’s good to know that I’m not the only one, come on
Say you, you got to live your life
True, to how you feel inside
You, you got to live your life
Put your hands up, buckle up and fly
So whatever path we choose to take
There will be highs and there will be lows the same
Oh we’ll never run from our mistakes
The harder we fall, the harder we try again
The harder we fall
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We’ll just try again
So whatever path we choose to take
There will be highs and there will be lows the same
Oh we’ll never run from our mistakes
The harder we fall, the harder we try
