CLOSE ENOUGH Verse 1 You heard the advertisement, Thought you’d heard the song. Saw one piece of the picture And decided you weren’t wrong. Read the label on the bottle, Never tasted what was inside. Built an entire courtroom Without a trial in sight. Pre-Chorus Funny how confidence Looks so much like fact When nobody asks you To prove any of that. Chorus Close enough For another cheap opinion. Close enough For another self-appointed witness. You never listened— You just wanted to be right. Built an entire story From a silhouette at night. Close enough. Close enough. Verse 2 You heard one word And missed a whole confession. Skipped the pages, Still reviewed the lesson. Everybody’s got a hammer, Everything’s a nail. Funny how the loudest experts Never leave a trail. Pre-Chorus You call it observation. I call it guessing dressed in black. Chorus Close enough For another cheap opinion. Close enough For another self-appointed witness. You never listened— You just wanted to be right. Built an entire story From a silhouette at night. Close enough. Close enough. Bridge Maybe that’s the difference Between looking and seeing. Between hearing a sound And understanding its meaning. You heard the advertisement. Thought you’d heard the song. And that’s the kind of mistake People spend their whole lives making. Final Chorus Close enough For another cheap opinion. Close enough For another self-appointed witness. You never listened— You were finished from the start. Funny how the people Who know everything Never see the hardest parts. Close enough. Close enough.
