My sister bought me dinner on her birthday yesterday
And through the wine she said by 26 I thought I'd find my way
I said I don't know what to say
And the one I love is 21 and works himself to death
He is thankful and he's gracious but there's a longing on his face
And I don't know to make the burden go away
And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away
How can I be so close to you and not know what to say
And a friend of mine is friends with God or so she says at least
Though it's strange to say I can't deny I've tried to find my knees
Tried to beg my heart to show itself to me
And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away
How can I be so close to you and not know what to say
How can I be so close to you and feel so far away
Far away
Far away
And how can I be so close to you and feel a world and a half away
How can I be so close to you and not know what to say
How can I be so close to you and feel so far away
Far away
Far away
