You came to visit me once
In the form of many men
Their hands were wrapped in chains
They broke my teeth
My friend pulled me out

It came so close
It came so close
It came so close

You came to sit with me once
On the cobblestones that night
You were dressed as a giant wave
Tried to hold me down and put me out

We talked in circles and tongues
Drifting out of lane that day
And waking up on the pavement
Had to check my chin and
Keep on moving on

Of all the nights I lie awake
The quiet ways
It came so close
It came so close
It came so close
