So Close

I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window
That I never even knocked on the front door

Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...

I walk by statues never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark on the monument of the heart
I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day
The last day
The last day
Oooh..

Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time is sweeter than honey

Lyrics by: B. Moody, W. Boyd, M. Outlaw

This song makes me picture amy walking through a park in Little Rock and sitting on statues. I really like this song. It's sweet.

I liked of its theory.
It really is sweet.
For me is romantic song, with a strong mensage.
Like "For all that I fought, I want can let my name in the music world. Only thus I can rest in peace".

Taking this romantic side, a seemed message.
I think that I'm crazy.

I just love this song, especially this part:

Definitely one of my favourites. It usually gives me the chills.

I agree with Return To Chaos, that part is AMAZING.
I am recently addicted to this song. I just connect with it so much. I love it and it's beautiful.

This is such an underrated song! It sounds so otherworldly. I LOVe the very last part when Amy sings, 'but this time is sweeter than honey,'.

That part is awesome..
I must say, I love when she sings "The last day" the one time when she sings three or four different notes on "day."

In my opinion, this is their best older song. I really like how they can make this a heavy song but also a sweet song at the same time. It's coool.

i really like this song. begin slow and then starts so quickly.
when Amy sings words "the last day" i fell much emotion. and i imagine big ruins of old castle, where the band paying, and Amy walk round or sits on wall and sings. that's beautiful song, i like this rythm

^Favorite part of the song.

For some reason, I keep listening to this song lately.

I think its really underrated compared to all their other older stuff. It really is an amazing song. I love how they are able to change from soft to heavy. Amy's voice sounds amazing in this song.
