Lyrics

Close To The Clouds

In the blink of another day
In a split sun, I pulled away
I will never come back in
They will never understand why

Feelings, she begs to let slide
Year upon year, it slips by
When the weather comes again
You find another place to stand

I understand, I understand
I understand
I understand, I understand
I understand

Growing up to look back
Not the best, believe that
I would never change a thing
I know I had an easy way out

Sleeping so close to the clouds
Fall at the peak, well, look now
Didn't know the hardest plan
Has given me the softest land

The softest land, the softest land
The softest land
The softest land, the softest land
The softest land

Heart line, deeper in
So fine, feeling it
Take time, following
Be my ending
