Came Close Lyrics by Noah Bouchard

Came Close

2023

If I ever get rich
I'm gonna buy a bunch of vinyls
In a room I'll buy a shelf
Where I can stack them by the title
A chair, a couple speakers
And the feeling of arrival
As I listen to these lyrics
Like a reading from the Bible

In rare moments
Of reprisal
I learnt my hopes and dreams are both
Deceitful and insightful
Achievements ain't as healing
As I thought they'd be
Trying to hold onto the hand
That brought the horse to see

The water
As the common saying goes
You can't forcе them
To fill their thirsty bodies
Or to carry you on forwards
But givе a star to follow
And the pull is too alluring
Keep it too far out of reach
And too close to be rewarding

Illusions of completeness
At the destination
So I jump a little higher
Like it's heaven waiting
Left me empty like
The end of the rainbow
Didn't make it
But I came close

Said I came close
To everything I wanna be
But every time I try to see
There’s always something stopping me
There’s always something stopping me

All I wanted was a way to make it out of here
Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears
So if you know it can you show it cos I don’t know
And if you know it can you show it cos I’m so low

If I ever get rich
Then my family good forever
And I'll be looking out for Bud
Who ran the centre
The youth club the
First studio I did music at
The council mowed it down
And now it's student flats

Closed it round the time that I
Became a student
And moved to the big city
Like it's time to make my future
Now
I'm graduating
I didn't transform
Haven't had the patience

Tell me if I worked a little harder
I'd be satisfied
And maybe could afford the latest placement
Being advertised
Tell me I could fill the void
With noise upon my timeline
As I lie paralysed
By disconnected WiFi

In a world that needs consumers
Not conceders
Course the grass is always greener
In another hundred metres
Left us empty
Like the end of the rainbow
Didn't make it
But we came close

Said I came close
To everything I wanna be
But every time I try to see
There’s always something stopping me

There’s always something stopping me
All I wanted was a way to make it out of here
Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears
So if you know it can you show it cos I don’t know
And if you know it can you show it cos I’m so low

Said I came close
To everything I wanna be
But every time I try to see
There’s always something stopping me

There’s always something stopping me
All I wanted was a way to make it out of here
Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears
So if you know it can you show it cos I don’t know
And if you know it can you show it cos I’m so low
