"Aly's Song (So Close, So Far)" lyrics

So just know I take your picture where I go
And every night you call my phone, and you're feeling so alone
And you wonder where it went
All the words that I had said, and were they ever meant?
And it just ain't working when it's so uncertain

I always walk the edge but always come back home
Promised I'd call
But I always come back home again

Leave me where you found me
I'm always missing something
You know it's catching up
You know it's not enough, every time I come back home again
Someone's always asking, "Where you been?"

So just know I don't want to stay, I just want to go
This is all the time for me, so just know
I don't want to please, I just want to leave
It's the air I breathe till it kills me
And it's reoccurring
And it leaves you hurting
And it just ain't working when it's so uncertain
I promised I'd call
But I always come back home again

Leave me where you found me
I'm always missing something
You know it's catching up
You know it's not enough, every time I come back home again
Someone's always asking, "Where you been?"

Counting states like counting stars
We both know how it ends
Chances for memories pass us like cars
It's always catching up
Counting states like counting stars
We both know how it ends
So close, yet so far
It's always catching up
It's always catching up
Counting states like counting stars
Chances for memories pass us like cars
So close, yet so far
So close, yet so far

So close, so close
So close
And every time I come back home again
Someone's always asking, "Where you been?"
