'We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'My harbour lights are fading fastsoon they'll disappearalone I sit in darknesshoping someone might come nearthough I wait, though I tryno one ever comesand the feeling that I have flood over methe river starts to runWe fly so closewe fly so closesometimes we fly too closeEvery place you run to, everywhere you turnthere are places that you know you should not gobut some bridges just won't burnall my life, though I tryI cannot change the pastand the ghosts that come back to haunt youmake you realise at lastWe fly so closewe fly so closesometimes we fly too closewe fly too closeMy heart is racing much faster nowlife passes before my eyessomething's I see, they make me smilesomething's they make me cryso I look, so I try to finda lesson I can learnthe passing of time hasn't changed my mindand the ghosts I know returnYou know we fly so closewe fly so closesometimes we fly too closewe fly too closeWe fly so close, you and I sometimessometimes we fly so close,we'll never know how many timeswe fly so closewe fly so close
