So Close Lyrics
Don't you tell me how to feel Every time your state your opinion The obligation here is real 'Cause you know that I'd say anything for you Well, if this is the kind of life you're happy to live then go on But times are changing and I can see I see now, I have to choose It's turning me away from everything familiar And casting me out on a sea I've never known And all Your efforts to keep me safe Just make me dependant And out here when I need You most You can't rebuke the wind that's tossing me
To reach this half-alive heart He had to touch my eyes To show me truth that's real to me 'Cause it speaks of all I've left behind Coming alive is harder than anything I've tried And fear, don't reach for me now 'Cause I'm so close, so close
Pretty stories of a Man who walked among the people Healing anyone who could just believe in all He said He was And the decision wasn't mine when it came To what was right and wrong But You would smile down on me Whenever I could tell You what it was
But I can't deny the holy life of this Man Whose death I deserve to die a thousand times And realising what I need is always easier than changing From what I've always been into who I need to be
To reach this half-alive heart He had to touch my eyes To show me truth that's real to me 'Cause it speaks of all I've left behind Coming alive is harder than anything I've tried And fear, don't reach for me now 'Cause I'm so close, so close
