So Close
Shawn Hook Lyrics

I'm walkin' to the sound,
I am moving to the rhythm of my heartbeat

The blood that moves around inside me.
My veins pulse with excitement

The beat drops in my heart,
My heart is racing with anticipation

Below my feet the stars can lift me.
The world is vast and full of possibilities

The lanes are all clear
Obstacles have been removed

I've always dreamed that I'd be here,
I've always hoped to achieve this moment

But this seems too weird.
The surrealism of it is overwhelming

So close I can taste it,
I am almost there

I've waited all my life (for this)
I've longed for this my entire existence

And I don't wanna waste it,
I won't take this opportunity for granted

I've chased this all my life (I'm so close)
I have relentlessly pursued this moment and am now within reach

This town will test your fate,
This place can make or break you

Will put you in your place and leave you.
It will humble you and make you work harder

Where everyone's a name
Everyone is recognizable or famous in some way

And everything's a game of who's who.
Success is determined by one's popularity or connections

The cards are in play.
The situation is in full swing

I'm sitting on a hand
I have a strong advantage

That no one can take away.
My position is secure

So close, so close,
Almost there

I've been so close all my life.
This moment has always been within reach

I been needin', I believe that
I have been searching for this and am confident

I'll find a way somehow, all my life.
I will achieve this somehow, despite past setbacks

All the ways I've been shut out
I've been denied this opportunity in the past

Yeah, I've been lost and found,
I have experienced both failure and success

The tears and the breakdowns
I've endured emotional pain and hardship

Have made me stronger now
I have grown and become more resilient
