My sister bought me dinner on her birthday yesterday And through the wine she said by 26 I thought I'd find my way I said I don't know what to say And the one I love is 21 and works himself to death He is thankful and he's gracious but there's a longing on his face And I don't know to make the burden go away And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away How can I be so close to you and not know what to say And a friend of mine is friends with God or so she says at least Though it's strange to say I can't deny I've tried to find my knees Tried to beg my heart to show itself to me And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away How can I be so close to you and not know what to say How can I be so close to you and feel so far away Far away Far away And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away How can I be so close to you and not know what to say How can I be so close to you and feel so far away Far away Far away
