So Close Lyrics

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 of his arms
And out of the door
Yeah, she did
Yeah a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Or she sits in some club where the long shadows fall
Drop a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall

So close
Yet so far away
So close
Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, baby, more than today
We're so close, so close
Yet so far away
Some people think if you really believe
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries
Yeah I know someone who just heads for the sun
She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"

So close
Yet so far away
So close
Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, but we're stuck in today
We're so close, so close
Yet so far away
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart (So close)
And the dream that pulls us together girl is a dream
That's gonna tear us, tear us apart

There's a restless look in you eye tonight
Are you looking for some way outta here
We gotta fight to keep it together girl
For the dream that keeps us
So close
Yet so far away
So close
Yet so far away
Now who would have thought yeah
That we'd end up this way
So close, so close
Yet so far away
