Closer I Get

[Verse 1]

Bein' alive costs a lot of money, but so does dyin'

Giving up takes a lot of effort, but so does tryin'

You can sell yourself, your own soul babe

If no ones buying

[Chorus]

I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away

The closer I get

[Verse 2]

I try to live in the light of day, but I don't feel enlightened

I'm scared of what I'll have to do, but I'm not frightened

My heart lives in the same old cage, but thesе walls have tightened

[Chorus]

I gеt the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away

The closer I get

[Bridge]

When I get closer all I know

You can't see the big picture from below

You say you're all grown up now

The past is gone

But a little piece of what we had still lingers on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Standing for something is hard

Standing for nothing's harder

You try not to be a total jerk

But they'll call you a martyr

I'm just somebody's mother, somebody's sister who's somebody's daughter

[Chorus]

I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling I'm further away

The closer I get

The closer I get (I get the feeling)

The closer I get (I get the feeling)

The closer I get (I get the feeling)

The closer I get (I get the feeling)

(I get the feeling) So far away

(I get the feeling) So far away

(I get the feeling) Closer I get

(I get the feeling)

(I get the feeling)

(I get the feeling)

(I get the feeling)
