Close Songtext
von School Is Cool

You know I′m trying to climb that hill
In ten years, I'll probably be here still
Someday, I′ll finally get my due
But my fate, babe, it ain't tied to you

I saw you cut him down where he stood
Somehow, I'd always known you would
Come and find me on the battlefield
Just say the magic word and I′ll yield

If I could get that close, I′d know just what to do
When the whisle blows, I might as well enjoy the view
But I'll never get that close, maybe I don′t have what it takes
I'll never get that close, I falter every time
Every time you raise the stakes


Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes

Invite me to the circle dance
If you′ll have me, won't you take my hand
From Monday to my Sunday best
Strike a deal and put it to the test

But when I get so close, I can hold it in the palm of my hand
When the whistle blows, I guess I′ll finally understand
I'll never get that close, don't think I′ll ever really have what it takes
I′ll never get that close, I falter every time
Every time you raise the stakes

Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
