Closest Thing by Kelly Ruston

Closest Thing

You're the closest thing to running
With my shoes untied
Took my wings out of the closet
And you handed me the sky

Like a bird or a plane
Or Superman himself
You're the closest thing to flying
That I have ever felt
I didn't see you coming
Like water on the street
You blew in like a feather
And I dropped a thousand feet

Like the trail from a star
Or a penny in a well
You're the closest thing to falling
That I have ever felt

And oh, I
Was a worn-out hallelujah
Hallelujah

By a sleight of hand
You saved me from myself
You're the closest thing to magic
That I have ever felt
Like a bird or a plane
Or Superman himself
You're the closest thing to flying
That I have ever felt
