Rhett Miller - As Close As I Came To Being Right lyrics

Miller-Cash I thought you were the wind That went through this house again I thought you were the moon Lightening up these empty rooms. I thought you were the sun Shining down on everyone but me I thought you were the night And that's as close as I came to being right. I saw you on the ground Every time that I fell down I saw you in the sky Reaching out as I flew by. I heard you on the sea Always calling out to me Yeah, I saw you in the Northern Lights And that's as close I came to being right. I didn't know it could grow so dark I didn't know it could break my heart I thought it better not to put up a fight And that's as close as I came to being right. I thought you were the wind Blowing through my home again I thought you were the moon Now nothing lights these empty rooms. Oh, I thought you were the sun Spreading warmth on everyone but me I thought you were the night And that's as close as I came to being right That's as close as I came to being right
