So Close * Unplugged Lyrics - Singles - Hall & Oates

(Hall, Green) 

------------- 

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym 

He fell like a rock 

She kinda liked him 

And his heart beat like thunder as they moved cross the floor 

But when the music was over she slipped out the door 

Yeah a man loves a woman but he can't understand 

Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand 

Then she sits in some club where the long shadows fall 

Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall 

So close 

Yet so far away 

We believe in tomorrow and a better day 

We lie down to sleep so close 

Yet so far away 

There's a restless look in you eye tonight 

There's a secret hurt in my heart 

And the dream that pulls us together girl 

Is a dream that keeps us 

So close 

Yet so far away 

Some people think if you really believe 

That's all you need to solve all the mysteries 

Well I know someone who just heads for the sun 

She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young" 

There's a restless look in your eye tonight 

There's a secret hurt in my heart 

And the dream that pulls us together girl is a dream 

That's gonna tear us apart
