We Fly So Close Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My harbour lights are fading fast
Soon they'll disappear

Alone I sit in darkness
Hoping someone might come near
Though I wait, though I try
No one ever comes

And the feeling that I have flood over me
The river starts to run

[Chorus]
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close

[Verse 2]
Every place you run to
Everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
But some bridges just won't burn

All my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
Make you realize at last

[Chorus]
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close
[Verse 3]
My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes

Somethings I see, they make me smile
Somethings they make me cry

So I look, so I try to find
A lesson I can learn
The passing of time hasn't changed my mind
And the ghosts I know return

[Chorus]
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close

[Outro]
Oh we fly so close
You and I sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close
We'll never know how many times
We fly so close
We fly so close

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
