We Were So Close, but Now We’re So Far Lyrics by ​mercury

We Were So Close, but Now We’re So Far

2020

[Verse 1]
I know a place where lovers go
To get some solitude
Let's head up North
To talk it out
And maybe we won't feel so blue
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
[Verse 2]
Let's be still and quick to hear
We have little time to be slow
I know all you want some patience dear
Because more time would be best for us both
[Chorus?]
Have you ever considered
Just how strange it is
That we're living in cardboard boxes
Of preconceived ideas
Has it ever crossed your mind?
Our culture is failing us
[Bridge?]
It's failing, it's failing
It's failing us
But we're failing, we're failing
We're failing just as much
Oh we were so close
But now we're so far
Why does it have to always be so hard?
Oh, no no
[Instrumental]
[Outro?]
It don't have to be hard
Open up your heart
It don't have to be hard
Open up your heart
