[Silence]<\/p>\n

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Delayed Guitar Notes, Soft Organ Pad, Rising Synth Sweep]
\n[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
\nAlmost there…
\n(Or maybe not)
\nNear enough…
\n(We’ve got a shot)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWho knows…
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe’ll… here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSo the answer starts as guess
\nSome bring more and some bring less
\nAnother step reveals a clue
\nThen another point of view<\/p>\n

Little by little, inch by inch
\nMoving forward, never flinch
\nWhat seemed distant yesterday
\nNow feels almost on display<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTake your time
\n(Don’t rush through)
\nOne more look
\n(Might change the view)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nGetting close
\n(Or so it seems)
\nFollowing
\n(Fragments of dreams)<\/p>\n

Piece by piece
\n(Line by line)
\nSomehow things
\n(Begin to align)<\/p>\n

Who knows…
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe’ll… here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Syncopated Drums, Synth Countermelody]<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSometimes near is still too far
\nSometimes you’ve arrived where you are
\nAs the ending starts to bend
\nToward another place again<\/p>\n

Questions lead and answers roam
\nSearching for a place called home
\nAlmost right and nearly true
\nCan still carry you on through<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot quite there
\n(But not behind)
\nEarn a turn
\n(Sharpen the mind)<\/p>\n

One more try
\n(One more clue)
\nWhat’s uncertain
\n(Can break through)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nGetting close
\n(Or so it seems)
\nChasing down
\n(Half-formed dreams)<\/p>\n

Near enough
\n(To see the light)
\nFar enough
\n(To keep in sight)<\/p>\n

Who knows…
\n(If this is getting close)
\nWe’ll… here goes
\n(For another dose)<\/p>\n

Yeah… here goes…
\n(Another dose)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Warm Organ Sustain, Fading Bass Pulse, Synth Dissolve]
\nWho knows…
\n(Who knows…)
\nMaybe we’re…
\n(Getting close…)<\/p>\n
