    LYRICS
    We cross a country
    In an airplane with the wings on fire
    Hanging from the seatbelt sign
    That’s the one thing
    There’s no safety in desire
    Preserving life is as good as dying
    And these could be the best or darkest days
    The lines we walk are paper thin
    And we could pull this off or push away
    Cause you me have always been
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere, nowhere
    Heard you whisper over the hum of an electric chair
    to live like this could take its toll
    but you’re no stranger
    to the height of almost getting there
    are we losing touch or taking hold
    And these could be the best or darkest days
    The lines we walk are paper thin
    And we could pull this off or push away
    Cause you me have always been
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere, nowhere
    I wanna go there
    I wanna go there
    I wanna go there
    With you
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    We’re so close
    So close taking off
    So close to going nowhere
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere
    So close
    So close to giving up
    So close to going all the way
    So close
    So close to taking off
    So close to going nowhere, nowhere
    So close

    The way this man reinvents himself, yet always stays true to who he is, is amazing. He is probably one of the most underrated musicians there is. His words are so beautiful.

    • @thegreatmrt
      @thegreatmrt Před 3 lety

      Yep the days with something corporate are my most remembered of him because I was growing up at that time but going through his catalog post something corporate has been great as well. He still has that recognizable vocal pattern thats unique to him

      @barbaraholbein3005 Před 3 lety +2

      Victoria Sypniewski oh he’s not underrated. He will always be himself and it permeates. He’s an icon to everyone he reaches. I remember singing with him in a crowd. He came out and danced his way over and we had so much fun. I remember when he crowd surfed on an inflatable duck. I lifted a young girl on my shoulders so she could high five him. He loved it and she will never forget that moment.

    • @LoopayLu
