Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
   Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop
  
   If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me
   I think about it all the time
   It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning
   Here it comes, my peace of mind
  
   Cause I'm close, so close, so close
   I'm close, so close, so close
  
   Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth
   Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through
  
   Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing
   I've been keeping it inside
   No one cares just how you got there
   No one cares how hard you've tried
  
   But you're close, so close, so close
   You're close, so close, so close
  
   Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts
   Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught
  
   And if you've got a secret
   It's in me you can confide
   And if we ever get split up
   I'll always be on your side
  
   Cause we're close, so close, so close
   We're close, so close, so close
