[Verse 1] I'm so close I nearly got the words out right Rehearsed them half the night The morning caught me mid sentence I laughed and said never mind I keep a little space between Where I am and where I want to be Small enough to touch with one hand Big enough to lose some sleep My fingers almost reach it then it slips away I tell myself tomorrow but I want to try today [Chorus] I'm so close, just a little bit Got my thumb and finger showing how much is left I'm so close, let me try again If I miss it by a heartbeat, count me in again Almost there, almost, almost there [Verse 2] I'm so close I can feel it in the air I wore my brave face inside out You smiled and helped me turn it round, said You don't need a perfect entrance So I came in laughing loud Some days I'll make it halfway, some days I'll barely start I'm learning how to leave the room before I lose my nerve My voice is still a little shaky, my hands are shaking too But I've been waiting long enough to see what they can do [Chorus] I'm so close, just a little bit Got my thumb and finger showing how much is left I'm so close, let me try again If I miss it by a heartbeat, count me in again Almost there, almost, almost there [Bridge] I'm so close I can feel it in the air What if I get there and don't know what to say What if I'm still me with nothing swept away Then let me get there trembling Let me take my time I don't need to feel ready to give it one more try [Chorus] I'm so close, just a little bit All these little almosts and I haven't finished yet I'm so close, let me try again If I miss it by a heartbeat, count me in again Almost there, almost, almost there Leave a little room, I'm on my way there Just a little… Just a little more… I’m sooo close…
