Closest Thing - Ruston Kelly

You’re the closest thing to running

With my shoes untied

Took my wings out of the closet

And you handed me the sky

Like a bird or a plane

Or Superman himself

You’re the closest thing to flying

That I have ever felt

I didn’t see you coming

Like water on the street

You blew in like a feather

And I dropped a thousand feet

Like the trail from a star

Or a penny in a well

You’re the closest thing to falling

That I have ever felt

And oh, I

Was a worn-out hallelujah

Hallelujah

By a sleight of hand

You saved me from myself

You’re the closest thing to magic

That I have ever felt

Like a bird or a plane

Or Superman himself

You’re the closest thing to flying

That I have ever felt
