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
