the material- moving to seattle



I can smell it on the pavement, it's about to rain 
And you can feed me all the pills you want 
But you cannot stop the pain

Am I forcing my hand to write this down? 
Today is the day I finally realized that I can't rely on anyone except myself

So you think you understand me 
You're so anxious to evaluate 
Maybe I'm well, maybe I'm fine, maybe I'm in love

Am I forcing my hand to write this down? 
Today is the day I finally realized that I can't rely on anyone except myself

Don't just stand there, it's about to rain 
You were never one to worry 
Maybe my dreams are just more interesting than my reality All this time 
See it through my eyes

So Close - Jon McLaughlin



You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching
That famous happy ending
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close...

Oh, how could I face these faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We're so close to reaching
That famous happy ending
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, and still
So far...
