Alyssa Marie - Close lyrics

[Hook] I'm so close, I can see solid ground Nowhere I won't go, not a feat out of bounds Nothing to lose, I lost it all Nothing to prove, nowhere to fall [Verse 1] So here we are, the first step of the stairway I'm already caught up in what's next and I'm scared straight Cause in a weird way, I still expected a fair play Despite all my opinions I've collected from hear-say A cleared slate, let's start to fill it up Drop the chalk and picking up a permanent marker, an artist in the rough Dusting off the dirt, show the rawness building up When they see the blood it pumps, they'll see my heart is real enough But I won't die to be appreciated, I wanna be alive to see their faces The day that I finally reach a nation Take the time to breathe the day in Building castles inside of the desert sand while tryna find my green oasis Take the reigns and write my story in ink Open eyes if life is over and done before we can blink We sit on the brink of glory, a lot more than we think Just gotta make priorities sync [Hook] [Verse 2] Grand scheming, standing between the land and the sea Thinking "neither captain nor driver's the destiny planned for me I'm a pilot" sampled a piece of the sky's ambient freedom And knew the second I landed I'm finished planting my feet Never bite the hand that feeds me, I got low tolerance for pain Never realized all of the dirt that was washing off the rain When I prayed for the sun, thankful it's done but happy it happened The day's gonna come that I'll say the same for the chapter pa**ing So I'll wait, as I'm mastering the art of picking battles I learn the difference between taking shade and living in shadows I traveled along the barrier, finally ready to cross They'll throw confetti when the stones get too heavy to toss Through the loss, I gained more, was afraid of them waging war But if they're gonna do it then what the hell are they waiting for? I'm here, in the same place as before, all that changed Is I got nothing lose but all to gain [Hook]
