Close To Nowhere
Deniece Pearson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Doesn't really matter 'bout
The clothes on your skin
The only thing that matters is what's within
They can tell me whatever they like
It's black and white
Doesn't really matter about your occupation
Just as long as you come home to me
I don't really care about their conversation
You're all the inspiration I need
[Chorus:]
They think I'm close to nowhere
But I'm close to you
You're the corner of everywhere
Extraordinary
With nothing to prove
'Cause there's no other that can compare
No others gonna leave me for a man
No matter what they say
They think I'm close to nowhere
But I'm close to you
Doesn't really matter if they think
You're different, no
'Cause that wound make me different, too
And if being the same means that we're
Just like them
No thank you
We're cool
[Chorus:]
Yeah yeah
Oh baby
We're a part
No, you are in my heart
Never far
[Chorus:]
