Close So Far - ¡MAYDAY!, Common Kings

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far

He’s looking out a window

Rain tapping on panes to a tempo

Brain caught up in limbo

Screen paused on a game of Nintendo

Little Ben, you were so little then

Didn’t even dig a win, you just think of fitting in

Young man with a plan to demand dividends

Not for the love of money for the love of rhythm and

You’re seeking every facet now

Rock shows working up in the class now

Started out small, filled like half a lounge

Now you selling out shows line’s back around

Sniffed out that scent like a basset hound

Huh, shit

The boy’s got imagination and he grinds, no backing down

So when he comes through better ready your congratulations

They said he could, make it, he should

If he only knew how to break and escape from the woods

He’s been late to the good, shaking the foot

But he keeps going here and staying in the place that he stood

But he’s not there yet

He’s still a young kid on the floor just thinking he could be him a star

Singing to the notes of his father’s guitar

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far

Did it matter at all?

Twenty years turning off the alarm

Did it even make a difference with y’all

Did it hit when I aimed for the heart

Keeping everyone I love in the dark

'Til the music starts

And I’m ripped apart

Never left the jungle so the blade is sharp

We’re still savages in a strange amusement park

So tell me what it takes to reach the end

Feel a little bit of joy from what you did

Feel like you didn’t waste a thing

Bet it all win and lose in time again

See the trick to the trip is lose your mind

So the bumps in the road will make you smile

I see the end come and count the miles

Hope we’re slowing down

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far

So close so far

Right from the start

So close so far

So close so far
