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)
