Came Close (feat. Hemes)

If I ever get rich I'm gonna buy a bunch of vinyls In a room I'll buy a shelf Where I can stack them by the title A chair, a couple speakers And the feeling of arrival As I listen to these lyrics Like a reading from the bible In rare moments Of reprisal I learnt my hopes and dreams are both Deceitful and insightful Achievements ain't as healing As I thought they'd be Trying to hold onto the hand That brought the horse to see The water As the common saying goes You can't force them To fill their thirsty bodies Or to carry you on forwards But give a star to follow And the pull is too alluring Keep it too far out of reach And too close to be rewarding Illusions of completeness At the destination So I jump a little higher Like it's heaven waiting Left me empty like The end of the rainbow Didn't make it But I came close Said I came close To everything I wanna be But every time I try to see There's always something stopping me There's always something stopping me All I wanted was a way to make it out of here Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears So if you know it can you show it cos I don't know And if you know it can you show it cos I'm so low If I ever get rich Then my family good forever And I'll be looking out for Bud Who ran the centre The youth club the First studio I did music at The council mowed it down And now it's student flats Closed it round the time that I Became a student And moved to the big city Like it's time to make my future Now I'm graduating I didn't transform Haven't had the patience Tell me if I worked a little harder I'd be satisfied And maybe could afford the latest placement Being advertised Tell me I could fill the void With noise upon my timeline As I lie paralysed By disconnected WiFi In a world that needs consumers Not conceders Course the grass is always greener In another hundred metres Left us empty Like the end of the rainbow Didn't make it But we came close Said I came close To everything I wanna be But every time I try to see There's always something stopping me There's always something stopping me All I wanted was a way to make it out of here Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears So if you know it can you show it cos I don't know And if you know it can you show it cos I'm so low Said I came close To everything I wanna be But every time I try to see There's always something stopping me There's always something stopping me All I wanted was a way to make it out of here Stuck in my ways and in my head and in all my fears So if you know it can you show it cos I don't know And if you know it can you show it cos I'm so low
