Oh So Close

LYRICS:

Tick-tock, the seconds on the clock, they go round and round, they go round and round

Baby 1,2,3, baby A,B,C, baby you know me, baby, X,Y,Z, my way, it ain’t always the highway
But it’s starting to stand and deliver

And I only wanted you to listen because I thought you might like to know
So we could reconcile whatever differences it was that we had been harboring

Give or take 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, I don’t even know, maybe even more, you could probably exponentialize it

Magnetize every field and realm that you never even ever heard of, ‘cause you weren’t listening

Just so, oh so, just so, oh so, just so, oh so close

Too many or nary a care and I’ve waited such a, waited such a long time in the course of this here affair

And y’know the root itself, the root itself is cut and sentenced to its deed
The root itself, the root itself is lost but for the seed

And y’know I’ve torn my pages, I’ve torn my pages, torn them over, up and down
Yes, you know I’ve torn my pages, I’ve torn my pages and I’ve thrown them to the ground

Give or take 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, I don’t even know, maybe even more, you could probably exponentialize it
Because it’s all really only even just a turn of phrase

Baby 1,2,3, baby A,B,C, baby you know me, baby, X,Y,Z, my way, it ain’t always the highway, or the right way
But it’s starting to stand and deliver, cause I’ve been listening

Just so, oh so, just so, oh so, just so, oh so close

Tick-tock, the seconds on the clock, they go round and round, they go round and round
