So Close Lyrics - Hall & Oates

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 when they moved 'cross the floor 

When the music was over, she slipped out the door 

Yeah, a man loves a woman but he can't understand 

Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand 

Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall 

Drop a coin in a jukebox, not the phone on the wall 

So close, yet so far away 

So close, yet so far away 

We believe in tomorrow in our better day 

Then we lie down to sleep, so close, yet so far away 

There's a restless look in your eye tonight 

There's a secret hurt in my heart 

And the dream that pulls us together, girl 

Is a dream, is a dream that keeps us so close 

Yet so far away 

Some people think if you really believe 

But that's all you need to solve all the mysteries 

Well, I know someone, who just heads for the sun 

'Cause 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, maybe more than today 

Then we lie down to sleep, so close, yet so far away 

There's a restless look in your eye tonight 

There's a secret hurt in my heart 

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 

There's a secret hurt in my heart 

And the dream that pulls us together, girl 

Is a dream that pulls us so close 

Ooh, 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 pulls us so close 

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 makes us so close, yet so far away
