i'm just trying to reach you
but your hair is matted down with blood
and i can't pull you back up
i reach for your hand
but you slip and fall
i reach for your hand
and you back up against the wall
darling, i'm just trying to reach you
and all you can do is pull away
pulling fresh tears from my eyes, again
again, you're making me cry... once again
yeah
i'm just trying to reach you, darling
but i can't touch you
and yet you're pulling tears from me
~
how can you get so close to me
close enough...
close enough that i can see your smile
close enough for me to hear you whispering in my ear
close enough for you to draw out tears
~
how can you be so close when i can't touch you
~
can't get near you
you're so close
reaching for you
you're so close
can't find you
but you're so close... all you can do is pull away
pull away my tears
you're so close
where are you
~
darling, i'm just trying to reach you
with your back against the wall
calling me to you
pulling me
with your sweet whispered cries
and that soft loneliness in your eyes
that seems so close to me
you seem so close to me
but i can't touch you, can't reach you
can't touch you, won't let me reach you
but you're so close
pulling my tears as i try to reach you
