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
as they moved 'cross the floor
But when the music was over
she slipped out of his arms
And out the door
Yes she did
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
Drops a coin in the jukebox
Not the phone on the wall
So close
Yet so far away
So close
Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow
Maybe more than today
We're so close
So close
Yet so far away
Some people think
if they really believe
That's what you need
to solve all the mysteries
Yeah I know someone
who just heads for the sun
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
But we're stuck in today
Baby we're so close
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
Oh are you lookin'
for some way out of here
We gotta fight
to keep it together girl
For the dream that keeps us
So close
Yet so far away
So close
Yet so far away
Yeah who woulda thought girl
that we'd end up this way
So close so close
Yet so far away
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
So far away
So close
