So Close

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 of the door, yes, she did
 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
 Drop 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, baby, 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
 Yeah, 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, but we're stuck in today
 Baby, we're so close, so close, so far away
 There's a restless look in your eye tonight
 There's a secret hurt in my heart (so close)
 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 looking for some way out of here here? (So close)
 (I see you looking me)
 We gotta fight to keep it together, girl
 For the dreams that keeps us
 So close, yet so far away
 So close, yet so far away
 Who would've thought, girl, that we'd end up this way?
 Getting so close, so close, so far away
 (So close, so far away) we're livin' in a dream world
 (So close, so far away) but we live in today, girl
 (So close, so far away) just you and me, baby
 (So close, so far away) baby, side by side
 (So close, so far away) by side by side by side by side by side
 So close, so far away (hey)
 So close, so far away
 So close
