Danny Kortchmar - 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 When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door 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 Drops 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, maybe 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 Yea 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, though we're stuck in today Baby 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 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 your eye tonight Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of 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 Who would of thought girl that we'd end up this way Getting so close, so close So far away We're living in a dream world Yet we're livin' today girl Just you and me baby Gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try
