[Intro ] A look. A pause. A conversation That ends when I arrive. Nothing obvious. Nothing I can hold. Just something That wasn't there before. [Verse 1] I hear my name From the other side of walls. Half a sentence. Half a laugh. Then silence. Like someone cut the wire. Like everybody knows Something I don't. A version of events Keeps changing hands. Getting cleaner. Getting simpler. Getting easier to understand. [Pre-Chorus] A missing detail. A missing line. A missing piece At the perfect time. [Chorus] Close enough. Close enough. Close enough to be believed. Close enough. Close enough. That's all they'll ever need. Not the whole truth. Not a complete lie. Just enough pieces To decide. Close enough. Close enough. Close enough to make it real. [Verse 2 ] Nobody saw it. But somebody heard it. Nobody knows. But everybody's certain. Every retelling Files another edge. Every question Turns into a statement. The story keeps improving. The facts stay where they are. One gets remembered. One falls apart. [Pre-Chorus] A headline first. An answer later. A villain now. Details after. [Chorus] Close enough. Close enough. Close enough to be believed. Close enough. Close enough. That's all they'll ever need. Not the whole truth. Not a complete lie. Just enough pieces To decide. Close enough. Close enough. Close enough to make it real. [Breakdown] Almost right. Almost true. Almost happened. Close enough. Almost me. Close enough. [Bridge] They don't need certainty. They need consistency. Something that fits. Something that sticks. Something repeated Until repetition becomes proof. Until memory becomes evidence. Until doubt disappears. [Final Chorus] Close enough. Close enough. Close enough to be believed. Close enough. Close enough. That's all they'll ever need. The gaps get filled. The edges fade. The story survives. The truth decays. Close enough. Close enough. And now it's out of my hands. [Outro] Nobody invented it. Nobody planned it. Nobody questioned it. Nobody stopped it. Just one version Passed from hand to hand. Until nobody remembered There was another one.
