So Close - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

We cross a country

In an airplane with the wings on fire

Hanging from the seatbelt sign

That’s the one thing

There’s no safety in desire

Preserving life is as good as dying

And these could be the best or darkest days

The lines we walk are paper thin

And we could pull this off or push away

Cause you and me have always been

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

So close

So close to taking off

So close to going nowhere

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

So close

So close to taking off

So close to going nowhere, nowhere

I heard you whisper over the hum of an electric chair

To live like this could take its toll

But you’re no stranger

To the high of almost getting there

Are we losing touch or taking hold?

And these could be the best or darkest days

The lines we walk are paper thin

And we could pull this off or push away

But you and me have always been

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

So close

So close to taking off

So close to going nowhere

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

So close

So close to taking off

So close to going nowhere, nowhere

I wanna go there

I wanna go there

I wanna go there

With you

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

We’re so close

So close taking off

So close to going nowhere

So close

So close to giving up

So close to going all the way

So close

So close to taking off

So close to going nowhere
