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
