The closest in proximity we've ever been is a thousand miles apart,
But we talk and conversate almost every day, and I know that that is a start,
There are people on the street you see day in and day out,
But there's nothing much important that you ever talk about,
But I feel like I've broken the surface with you, of that there is no doubt.
You know me and I know you and that's alright.

I have learned a lot from the many times we've talked, and I finally know for certain,
That when the roadway is rough and the going gets tough, you gotta look behind the tattered curtain.
Just remember there are people in your life that really care,
All you gotta do is call and someone will always be there,
Though it seems overwhelming now, I implore you never to despair.
You know me and I know you and it's alright.

Beneath the serene and picture perfect surface,
A maelstrom of distortion lies.
Takes all the hurt and sadness in your life,
And weaves it into an elaborate guise.
But don't let it get to your optimistic disposition,
Or your subtly infectious cheer,
And in the end everything will be okay,
It'll all be crystal clear.
