Lyrics
DANGEROUSLY CLOSE
by Joi Veer
Today, I'm gonna change my corner of the world, And let my paradise awaken - getting close now.
I'm heading towards the edge, so I can test the water.
Too much to fix, been here too long - I'll get out somehow.
The flood gates open - every wild urge rushes in.
Full head of steam - I'm about to shed my skin.
The image in my mind, no longer a mirage.
My hands are free, my fists unclenched - almost thru the barrage.
I know who I am - I'm a solitary man.
I've walked the walk without the talk, and tried to have a plan.
I know where I've been, and where I have to go
To drink the sweetest nectar -I can almost taste it...
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE
Today, I'm gonna make a promise to myself.
I have said my farewell - I won't be going back there.
The scales are tipped - I'll play the wild card destined for me.
Won't lose a single thing - we all have come from somewhere.
Today, I'm gonna stick my neck out - got to go now. This place is screaming at me - I can't hear a sound.
Shot from the cannon,
I'll be arriving soon.
The dark clouds separate,
and reveal the hidden moon.
One final gasp of air,
and my escape is clear.
It just might be a good time to remember why I'm here.
I know who I am - I'm a solitary man.
I've walked the walk without the talk, and tried to have a plan.
I know where I've been, and where I have to go
To drink the sweetest nectar -I can almost taste it...
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE.
I'm DANGEROUSLY CLOSE
