Closer To Fine

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile] I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' about my life Maybe give me insight between black and white But 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 [Verse 2: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile] 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 crawlin' on your shore [Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile] I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains But 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, yeah [Verse 3: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile] 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 And I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind Got my paper and I was free [Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Catherine Carlile] I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains And there's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line, yeah And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine [Verse 4: Brandi Carlile] I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.  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 [Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Catherine Carlile] I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain Yeah, we go to the Bible, and we go through the workout We read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout And 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 The closer I am, the closer I am The closer I am, the closer I am The closer I am to fine, to fine The closer I am
