Close As I've Come Lyrics - Ben Lee

I slipped into a house 

to escape my enemies, 

and opened a door to another world 

of lovers and whores 

but I loved you more 

than any of them 

and ever before. 

Look how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come I'm far away. 

The universe is brought back 

from the brink of destruction 

every time that you smile. 

But I can see things clearer 

it's all smoke in the mirrors 

Yeah, you broke my fucking heart but I still 

want you 

Look how close i've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come I'm far away. 

Look how close I've come I'm 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 I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come 

how close I've come I'm far away. 

Look how close I've come I'm far away.
