So Close Lyrics - Singles - Rachel Proctor

She gets in from work, takes off her coat 

Sits down hard and lights a smoke, slips off her shoes 

She's thinking just how nice it be 

To have someone to rub her feet, and just to talk to 

And mama, she don't understand 

Why she can't seem to find a man 

She says, "Are you even tryin'?" 

Oh, but it's true what they say about good men 

They're either gay, married or just want to be friends 

Makes a girl feel like cryin' 

Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing 

It just seems cruel to think that she might be 

So close 

Just three doors down and one floor up 

He pours some wine in a coffee cup, turns the TV on 

He tells himself it could be worse 

He's got his friends and he's got his work 

It ain't so bad alone 

When his younger brothers done got kids 

A dog, a cat and a privacy fence 

And a pretty wife, a bed with matching sheets 

And the kids call him uncle and he's glad they do 

But he always hurts a little bit too 

'Cuz lately, he's afraid that's all he's ever gonna be 

Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing 

It just seems cruel to think that he might be 

So close 

The elevator stops, they both get on 

She fumbles in her purse, he's on his phone 

And their eyes never even meet 

And it's sad to think they look so hard 

And it's all right there in that elevator car 

Mmm, the irony, so close, yeah, yeah 

So close, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

So close
