"So Close"- Daryl Hall, Jason Mraz

This song made me sad when I first heard it way back in high school. Still makes me sad today. Hall & Oates songs are superb classics.

“SO CLOSE” as performed live by Daryl Hall & Jason Mraz

Yeah…
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,
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.
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, and our better way.
And then we lie… down to sleep
So close… yet so far away.

Oh, 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 will find, if you really believe,
That's what you need, solve all the mysteries.
Oh 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.
And then we lie… down to sleep
So close… yet so far away.

Oh, 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 (so close)
And the dream that pulls us together girl,
Is a dream, that pulls us
So close, ooohhh…

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.

So close…
Yet so far away.
