Close Lyrics - Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum - Soul Asylum

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 shed 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 

So close, so close
