So Close

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN - SO CLOSE LYRICS

Best. Song. Ever.

So Close. by Jon McLaughlin

You're in my arms and all the world is calm.
The music playing on, for only two.
So close together, and when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive.

A life goes by, romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
and now forever I know, all that I wanted to hold you so close.

So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this was not pretend
Now you're beside me, and look how far we've come!
So far, we are, so close.

Oh how should I face the faceless day,
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching that famous happy ending
And almost believing, this was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming, for we know we are

So close, So close, and still so far.

Days like this

It's hard to do the right thing.

And sometimes it hurts.

A lot.

Yesterday I did the right thing.

And it really hurt.

A lot.

I stood my ground and told someone how I felt about a certain situation.

I care about that person. A lot. And perhaps that's why it hurts so much. But I can't go around pretending, and that's all I have to say about it. I can't pretend that I don't care. I can't pretend. I can't pretend that things haven't lead me to where I am, to what I think and how I act. I had to know how things stood between us.

I want only to do the right thing and be a good friend. But if there is any way that I went wrong in this, then I am truly sorry. If that friend reads this than please know:

I am sorry. But I just can't keep pretending.
