Close I’ve Come Lyrics by Ben Lee

Awake Is the New Sleep

2005

I slipped into a house
To escape my enemies
And opened the door to another world
Of lovers and whores
But I loved you more
Than any of them
And ever before

Look how close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, I'm far away

The universe is brought back
From the brink of destruction
Every time you smile
But I can see things clearer
It's all smoke and mirrors
Yeah, you broke my fuckin' heart, but I still
Want you

Look how close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, I'm far away
Look how close I've come, I'm far away

One can only guess
What would happen if
I got all my questions answered
Then we'd know for sure
Who's got the quickest draw
Who's laying dead
And who's above the law

Look how close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, how close I've come
How close I've come, I'm far away
Look how close I've come, I'm far away
