Close I've Come
Ben Lee · Awake Is the New Sleep [2005]
i slipped into a house
to escape my enemies
and opened the door to another world
of lovers and whores
but i loved you more
than any of them and ever before
look how close ive come
im far away
the universe is brought back
from the brink of destruction
every time you smile
but i can see things clearer
its all smoke and mirrors
yeah you broke my fucking heart but i still want you
look how close ive come
im far away
one can only guess
what would happen if
i got all my questions answered
then we'd know for sure
who's got the quickest draw
who's laying dead and who's above the law
look how close ive come
im far away
to escape my enemies
and opened the door to another world
of lovers and whores
but i loved you more
than any of them and ever before
look how close ive come
im far away
the universe is brought back
from the brink of destruction
every time you smile
but i can see things clearer
its all smoke and mirrors
yeah you broke my fucking heart but i still want you
