Close

Soul Asylum · Runaway Train [2001]

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 she'd 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
