Hey...

Ooh...

Oh...

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 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, maybe 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? (so close)

We gotta fight to keep it together, girl

For the dream, that keeps us.

So close, yet so far away

So close, yet so far away

So who would of thought, girl, that we'd end up this way?

Getting so close, so close, so far away.

So close, so far away (we're living in a dream world)

So close, so far away (but we're living today, girl)

So close, so far away (just you and me, baby)

So close, so far away (baby, side by, side by, side by)

So close, so far away (side by, side by side)

So close, so far away (aah)

So close, so far away

So close.
