Lyrics

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym He fell 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 of the door, yes, you 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, maybe 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 stuck in today Baby we're so close, so close, 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 Are you looking for somewhere, end up here (I see you looking in my eye) We gotta fight, to keep it together girl For the dreams that keeps us So close, yet so far away So close, yet so far away The who would've thought girl that we end up this way Given so close, so close, so far away (So close, so far away) We're livin' in a dream world (So close, so far away) But we live in today, girl (So close, so far away) Just you and me baby (So close, so far away) Baby 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 So close
