Lyrics of

Were you close today

	
Were You Close Today

Were you close today
How close were you
More than half the way
Or just in the mood to
Were you on the phone
Did you reach the driveway
Were you in the car
Getting on the freeway

Did you cross some line
Did you whisper to me 
Did you say my name
Did you look right through me

Going past the point 
Where there's no return 
Were your feet on fire
Was the sidewalk burning
Were you close today
How close were you

Were you close today
How close were you
Was the luggage packed
Was the passport on you
Were you fingers curled
Did you palms start sweating
Did your arms fill up
Were you unforgetting

Did you board that train
Did you quit the station
Did you just renounce
Your renunciation
When they played our song
Did you turn and face it
Was it on your lips
Could you almost taste it
Was I there too
And how close were you 
Were you close today  

Were you close today
How close were you
Did you make your play
Did you get some on you
And then run away
Back to your rough and tumble
Down on the old back bed
Where you dropped your bundle 

Were you satisfied 
Did you get that feeling 
Did you take a ride
Staring up at the ceiling
Did you face that thought
That you don't care to mention
Did your screen go black
With your bad intentions

Was your throughput clean
Was your picture steady
Were you duty free
Were you cable ready

You were just right there
Just this far away
You came close today
(close today)
You got close today
(close today)
You're So close today
(close today)
You were close today
(close today)
You came close today
(close today)
You got close today
(close today)
So close today
(close today)
You got close today
(close today)
So close today
(close today)...
