You know it's not much of a thrill If it's always going uphill You give your best until you bleed Accomplishment is the sole need I was pretty close - but not enough The world's gone crazy but we're doing fine Our empathy drowned, drowned in wine We're strong in tongue, weak in deed Graciousness is what we need We're pretty close - but not enough In a 1000 years from now When we are gone - we all are gone Whoever is out there will say So, pretty close - pretty close Every time I'm with you in your arms I'm safe you won't do me no harm There's no kitchy glam in your kiss This is something that I miss Oh, pretty close - but not enough It's like bits and pieces of a song You hear it and you'll hum along It's got witty words, a sudden twist But still there is something you miss It's pretty close - but not enough In a 1000 years from now When we are gone, we all are gone Whoever is out there will say So, pretty close - pretty close
