Nearer than I Thought

ALBUM: OUT OF THE WOODS

Nearer than I thought. Not so far as it appeared
You were out of sight and everything got weird
It seems so clear to me now—right inside my heart
How could it be so close? Nearer than I thought

I made this trip out East. You didn’t think I should go
I thought you’d lost your mind – shows how much I know
It always seems the same most every time we fight
The more I’m sure you’re wrong – the more likely that you’re right

Nearer than I thought. Not so far as it appeared
You were out of sight and everything got weird
It seems so clear to me now right inside my heart
How could it be so close? Nearer than I thought

It’s a journey without distance back to where we belong
I thought I ruined everything. What you thought was wrong

Maybe you think too much. That’s what you always say
You always think you’re right. You always want your way
But I’m already there—Right inside your heart
How could it be so close? Much nearer than I thought

Nearer than I thought. Closer than it appeared
It’s hard to understand, but it seems completely clear
It feels so good right now here inside my heart
How could it be so close? Nearer than I thought
