Closer

-Well I feel so messed up

I can't get clear

And I don't know what to do

Cause I'm neck deep in fear

My back feels like its been holdin' up the weight

of this house and these three cats

And my truck filled up with crap

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take

I'm gettin' closer

I'm gettin' a little bit closer

Yeah, cause life is not so simple

No it ain't just blah, blah, blah

I imagine my brain looks like a carousel on fire

And when I go into hiding

you know to just stay clear

You get it's not about you it's just

me fightin' me, fightin' me, fightin' me out here.

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take

I'm gettin' closer

I'm gettin' closer

And I still can't sit still

And I'm so tired but I lay here awake

wonderin' what you see

I wonder what is it you get

And why am I so lucky

Cause you haven't left me yet

Oh, you haven't even left me yet

Why am I so lucky?

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take, I get closer

A second at a time, usin' my breath

Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success

But with every little bang, every little push

every little step I take

I'm gettin' closer

I'm gettin' closer

I'm gettin' closer

I'm gettin' a little bit closer

I'm gettin' closer
