Closer To Fine

Closer To Fine - Brandi Carlile/Catherine Carlile

Lyrics by：Amy Ray/Emily Saliers

Produced by：Brandi Carlile

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life

Maybe give me insight between black and white

And the best thing you've ever done for me

Is to help me take my life less seriously

'Cause it's only life after all yeah

It's only life after all

Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable

And lightness has a call that's hard to hear

I wrap my fear around me like a blanket

I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it

I'm crawling on your shores

I went to the doctor I went to the mountains

I looked to the children I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source for some definitive

The closer I am to fine

The closer I am to fine

I went to see the doctor of philosophy

With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee

He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie

He graded my performance he said he could see through me

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind

Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor I went to the mountains

I looked to the children I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source for some definitive

The closer I am to fine

The closer I am to fine

I stopped by the bar at three AM

To seek solace in a bottle

Or possibly a friend

And I woke up with a headache

Like my head against a board

Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before

I went in seeking clarity

I went to the doctor I went to the mountains

I looked to the children I drank from the fountains

Yeah we go to the Bible we go through the work out

We read up on revival we stand up for the lookout

There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source for some definitive

The closer I am to fine

The closer I am to fine

The closer I am to fine yeah

The closer I am to fine

To fine

Closer I am

Closer I am

The closer I am

The closer I am

The closer I am

To fine to fine

The closer I am
