Daryl Hall And John Oates - So Close lyrics

rate me

(Hall, Green)

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

But when the music was over she slipped 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

Then she sits in some club where the long shadows fall

Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall

[Chorus:]

So close

Yet so far away

We believe in tomorrow and a better day

We lie down to sleep so close

Yet so far away

There's a restless look in you eye tonight

There's a secret hurt in my heart

And the dream that pulls us together girl

Is a dream that keeps us

So close

Yet so far away

Some people think if you really believe

That's all you need to solve all the mysteries

Well I know someone who just heads for the sun

She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"

[Chorus]

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 apart
