Close Enough




You've burned bridges just a little too long
And it's taken quite a toll on you
Now no matter what you say
Some people think that you're bad news

I've been in that situation myself
And I've got a word to say to you

If you think I won't be there
You never knew me
'Cause I want you to
See that the movie has shown

Every piece that the puzzle contains
If you just keep your ear

Close Enough

When you're driving by the world and it's too rough

Sure Enough

You will make it through if you can tell hate from love

Clo-clo-close enough

Everybody's got their own way to think
And sometimes they dump it all on you
And it can be very trying
And feel like impending doom

Listen to the little voice in yourself
It'll tell you how it looks to you

If you're divided in your heart
It's a problem
'Cause every time you start
You'll be stopping

And only to piece through the final remains
When it's all on your ear

Close enough

When you're driving by the world and it's too rough

Sure enough

You will make it through if you can tell hate from Love

Clo-Clo-Close Enough

I know
It's nothing you're incapable of thinking of
Get off the surgery table if it's only love
And only something
Only you can see

It's not easy telling right from wrong
When it seems to be excluding you
And the dances are for three feet
And you notice you have two

Somewhere in your memories of long ago
Are the things that used to comfort you

But if it's obvious they've been due for a revamping
Then I should say that

You've got to carry it to it's place in the sun
When it's under the gun trying to be

Close enough

When you're driving by the world and it's too rough

Sure enough

You will make it through if you can tell hate from
L-----^-----O-----^-----V-----^-----E

Clo-clo-close enough

Close enough

Close enough, close enough, close enough

Am I finally close enough?
'Cause that's enough
