Intro

Verse 1

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 of his arms

(Riff)

And out the door

Verse 2

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

So close, Yet so far away

We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today

We're so close, so close

(Riff)

Yet so far away

Verse 2

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

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

(Riff)

So far away

Verse 3

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, tear us apart

Verse 4

There's a restless look in your eye tonight

Are you looking for some / way / out / of / here

We gotta fight, to keep it together girl

For the dream that keeps us

Chorus

So close, Yet so far away

So close, Yet so far away

Now who would have thought girl, that we'd end up this way

Livin' so close, so close

So far away
