Lyrics

I Get Closer – Dayna Manning

Well I’m busy chasing birds
They’re so pretty haven’t you heard?
I lie in the grass and wait
For one of them to call my name

And then I go and climb a tree
I swear they sit and wait for me
But then they up and fly away
But I get closer every day

I get closer, I get closer, I get closer every day
I get closer, I get closer, I get closer to my way
But then they up and fly away
But I get closer every day

I’ve been dying to catch a fish
Oh how I want one in my dish
They’ve been eyeing me all day
Making me act crazy ways

But I got patience can’t you tell?
I know like all these oyster shells
The longer I spend by the sea
The smoother shinier I’ll be

I’ll be smoother, I’ll be smoother, I’ll be smoother by the sea
Oh so shiny, oh so shiny, oh so shiny I will be
The longer I spend by the sea
The smoother shinier I’ll be

Now I know this guy the mouse
I’ve even seen him in my house
We ain’t supposed to get along
But so far nothing’s really wrong

Some friends are meant to be
And some are natural enemies
You’ve gotta dig deep in your heart
And you can find a brand new start

You can find it, you can find it, you can find it in your heart
Gotta dig it, gotta dig it, gotta dig down really far
Oh you can find a brand new start
By digging deep down in your heart

And I get closer, I get closer, I get closer every day
I get closer, I get closer, I get closer to my way
But then they up and fly away
But I get closer every day
