There is a better way to live our lives And I must find it if I can But when I speak of change you look at me strange Sometimes you just don't understand So close (so close) yet so far So close (so close) yet it's au revoir So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams I always try to tell you where I came from What I believe and who I am I just can't see how we could ever agree We always end where we began So close (so close) yet so far So close (so close) yet it's au revoir So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams I don't believe in the things you believe I can't stay Tonight Can't compramise we must say our goodbyes the feeling Isn't right Although we are far apart I know we've been close It won't be easy to forget Our world is upside down and when it's turned round I won't deny that once we met So close (so close) yet so far So close (so close) yet it's au revoir So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams Repeat chorus (x3)
