So Close To You
written by: Sarah McLachlan
Lyrics
I won’t really say goodbye
And if you try to release the burden you hold
That you carry so deep inside you
And it drags you down
You can’t see where we fall
Cause I’m not sure what it is you want
What am I supposed to do
To get through to you
Gotta get through
Gotta get through
Gotta get through
Gotta get through
Gotta get through
Cause I don’t know why
You think I am the raging tide, a little light hidden in its shell
And now its come to wash all of you away
And like the sea surrounds the shore, it looks for warmth
And I wanna get so close
Would you let me so close
Would you let me so close to you
So I tried everything I knew
Everything to set fire
The light it shined so bright and so long
Now tears take its flame
Oh I cannot light it myself
Cause to you no candle burns
Oh I cannot say you’re not coming back
Cause you were never really here
You think I am the raging tide, the little light hidden in its shell
And now its come to wash all of you away
And like the sea surrounds the shore, it looks for warmth
And I wanna get so close
Would you let me so close
Do you wish you would let me get so close to you
So close to you
So close to you
So close to you
Tears go by, you seek solace in the truth
Oh how you think it should be
You will soon see that
It’s rather hard to fight
What is written in the sand
The time has already past
Already past
Already past
Already gone, yeah
And you cannot bring it back
You thought I was the raging tide, the little light hidden in its shell
And now it’s come to wash all of you away
Forgetting all the nights were cold and all alone
That you wanted to get so close
But you wanna get so close
Do you wish that I would get so close to you
And I do. . . .so close to you
Ooh, so close to you
Ooh, so close to you
So close to you
So close
So close to you
