Close to Home - The Get Up Kids

Summer swallowed us whole

Waited for you to come 'round

Every word you wrote down

We read it over to know

Would they believe in us now?

There’s no shame like no sound from sources

Hits close to home

Everything that we’ve found says, «Make your own destiny.»

But you’re unaware that you should be scared

Maybe you’ll learn from mistakes that we make

We’re not waiting forever

We know you’ll never be there

We’re not waiting forever

If you get out, see you there

Summer swallowed us whole

Waited for you to come 'round

There’s no shame like no sound from sources

Hits close to home

Everything that we’ve found says, «Make your own destiny.»

But you’re unaware that you should be scared

Maybe you’ll learn from mistakes that we make

We’re not waiting forever

We know you’ll never be there

We’re not waiting forever

If you get out, see you there

You’re not awake, as I’m aware

Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong

There’s been a misunderstanding

We’ve had all along

Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong

(Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong.)

You can read about

(You can read)

About it when we’re gone
