Close

You know I'm trying to climb that hill In ten years, I'll probably be here still Someday, I'll finally get my due But my fate, babe, it ain't tied to you I saw you cut him down where he stood Somehow, I'd always known you would Come and find me on the battlefield Just say the magic word and I'll yield If I could get that close, I'd know just what to do When the whisle blows, I might as well enjoy the view But I'll never get that close, maybe I don't have what it takes I'll never get that close, I falter every time Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes Invite me to the circle dance If you'll have me, won't you take my hand From Monday to my Sunday best Strike a deal and put it to the test But when I get so close, I can hold it in the palm of my hand When the whistle blows, I guess I'll finally understand I'll never get that close, don't think I'll ever really have what it takes I'll never get that close, I falter every time Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes Every time you raise the stakes
