"So Close (Unplugged Version)" lyrics

They met on the dance floor
In the old high school gym
It felt 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
Baby 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, yet 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 lookin' 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
Who would of thought, girl
That we'd end up this way
Getting so close, so close
So far away

We're living in a dream world
So close, so far away
Yet we're living today, girl
So close, so far away
Just you and me, baby
So close, so far away
Side by side by side by
Side by side by side by side
So close, so far away
So close, so far away
So close, so far away
