Mirage

(album: Dance In The Rain - 2014)

You're close enough to make me thirst
Close enough to need
And I've tried everything to close the distance
But you're never close enough to reach

And maybe this is like what sailors speak of
When your song sends them crashing to your shore
See, I went off the map so long ago
That I don't know if I can even turn back anymore

And you might be the perfect trick
And I might be the perfect fool
But I think you're worth all of it

It could all be smoke and mirrors
And I could be no nearer
But I'm just gonna keep trying
Climbing, pushing through
Don't know how, but I'm gonna get to you
You're my mirage

There's just enough hope to keep dreaming
Enough proof to stay in make believe
And I don't care how many out there
Can or don't or won't see it
I've never been safe in certainty

And you might be the perfect trick
And I might be the perfect fool
But I think you're worth all of it

It could all be smoke and mirrors
And I could be no nearer
But I'm just gonna keep trying
Climbing, pushing through
Don't know how, but I'm gonna get to you
You're my mirage

You're the symphony when I'm yet to make a sound
You're the castle I built in the sky when I'm yet to leave the ground
You're everything I cling to when nothing can be found
My mirage

It could all be smoke and mirrors
And I could be no nearer
But I'm just gonna keep trying
Climbing, pushing through
Don't know how, but I'm gonna get to you
You're my mirage

You're close enough to make me thirst
Close enough to need
And I've tried everything to close the distance
But you're never close enough to reach
