Jill Paquette So Close Lyrics

So Close Lyrics

Don't you tell me how to feel

Every time your state your opinion

The obligation here is real

'Cause you know that I'd say anything for you

Well, if this is the kind of life you're happy to live then go on

But times are changing and I can see

I see now, I have to choose



It's turning me away from everything familiar

And casting me out on a sea I've never known

And all Your efforts to keep me safe

Just make me dependant

And out here when I need You most

You can't rebuke the wind that's tossing me



To reach this half-alive heart

He had to touch my eyes

To show me truth that's real to me

'Cause it speaks of all I've left behind

Coming alive is harder than anything I've tried

And fear, don't reach for me now

'Cause I'm so close, so close



Pretty stories of a Man who walked among the people

Healing anyone who could just believe in all He said He was

And the decision wasn't mine when it came

To what was right and wrong

But You would smile down on me

Whenever I could tell You what it was



But I can't deny the holy life of this Man

Whose death I deserve to die a thousand times

And realising what I need is always easier than changing

From what I've always been into who I need to be



To reach this half-alive heart

He had to touch my eyes

To show me truth that's real to me

'Cause it speaks of all I've left behind

Coming alive is harder than anything I've tried

And fear, don't reach for me now

'Cause I'm so close, so close
