Closer - Melissa Ferrick

Well I feel so messed up

I can’t get clear

And I don’t know what to do

Cause I’m neck deep in fear

My back feels like its been holdin' up the weight

And this house and these three cats

And my truck filled with crap

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it’s true I’ve got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take

I’m gettin' closer

I’m gettin' a little bit closer

This life is not so simple

No it ain’t just blah, blah, blah

And I imagine my brain looks like a carousel on fire

And when I go into hiding

You know to just stay clear

You get it’s not about you it’s just

Me fightin' me, fightin' me, fightin' me out here

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it’s true I’ve got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take

I’m gettin' closer

I’m gettin' closer

And I still can’t sit still

Oh, we’re late

And I’m so tired but I lay here awake

Wonderin' what you see

I wonder, what it is you get?

And why am I so lucky?

'Cause you haven’t left me yet

Oh, you haven’t even left me yet

Why am I so lucky?

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it’s true I’ve got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it’s true I’ve got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

Every little step I take

I’m gettin' closer

I’m gettin' closer

I’m gettin' closer

I’m getting' a little bit closer

I’m gettin' closer
