Lyrics

Close to Nowhere

Though I long to

Though I try to

Figure it out I'm told

There's no way of knowing

Still I long to

Long to know

Hold on through it

Pray I'll fool it

Losing it all, I'm told

At the rate I'm going

Never learning

Never close

I will prove it

Hold on to it

Give it my heart and soul

With a chance I'll lose it

When I find you

I will know

Next to nothing

Far from over

Close to nowhere

Band of Skulls are trying something new: "It was quickly obvious that we had quite a different record"

Russell Marsden and Emma Richardson reflect on the band’s shift from bluesy guitars to upbeat pop as a vehicle for change. “It was a risk,” they explain.
