As Close As I Came To Being Right Lyrics - The Dreamer - Rhett Miller

I thought you were the wind 

That went through this house again 

I thought you were the moon 

Lightening up these empty rooms 

I thought you were the sun 

Shining down on everyone but me 

I thought you were the night 

And thats as close as I came to being right 

I saw you on the ground 

Every time that I fell down 

I saw you in the sky 

Reaching out as I flew by 

I heard you on the sea 

Always calling out to me 

I saw you in the Northern Lights 

And thats as close I came to being right 

I didnt know it could grow so dark 

I didnt know it could break my heart 

I thought it better not to put a fight 

And thats as close as I came to being right 

I thought you were the wind 

Blowing through my home again 

I thought you were the moon 

Now nothing lights these empty rooms 

Oh, I thought you were the sun 

Spreading warmth on everyone but me 

I thought you were the night 

And thats as close as I came to being right 

Thats as close as I came to being right
