Closer Now

Описание: This song is about realizing you’re further along than you thought.

We hear a lot of sayings about what’s on the other side — the hill, the fence, the long stretch ahead. But sometimes the work has already done what it was supposed to do. The effort didn’t disappear. It just got quieter.

“Closer Now” sits in the middle of the album as a moment of recognition. Not the finish line. Not a celebration. Just awareness. The feeling that the load you’ve been carrying finally has direction, and the climb doesn’t need to shout anymore.

Built around a steady, marching rhythm with walking bass and forward motion, this track is meant for movement — running, lifting, walking, or just staying in it a little longer.

Progress doesn’t always announce itself.

Sometimes the climb goes quiet.

Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

I’ve heard it’s on the other side,
past the fence, over the hill.
They say keep your eyes on what’s ahead,
that’s where the promise lives.

They say the road gets narrow,
right before it opens wide.
Funny how the map stays folded,
even when it’s in our hands.

Pre-Chorus

Every saying points forward.
No one tells you when to stop and look.

Chorus

Feels like I’m closer now.
Didn’t notice when it changed.
Same ground under my feet,
just carrying the load with purpose now.

They said I’d know it when I got there,
thought it’d feel like a sign somehow—
Turns out I’m standing in it.
Feels like I’m closer now.

Verse 2

They say you earn it in the valley,
and the view comes later on.
Say don’t count the quiet days,
just keep moving, keep it strong.

They say patience takes forever,
say progress hides its face.
But sometimes it’s right beside you,
keeping time with your pace.

Pre-Chorus 2

All those words about “someday”
start sounding different now.

Chorus (Variation)

Feels like I’m closer now.
Not rushed, not loud.
Same effort, better balance,
breathing easier somehow.

They warned me not to slow down,
not to trust the calm somehow—
Funny thing about momentum:
it feels steady when you’re closer now.

Bridge

Maybe “the other side”
was never very far.
Maybe all that distance
was learning where you are.

Final Chorus

Feels like I’m closer now.
Not finished—just aware.
Didn’t chase a miracle,
just stayed long enough to care.

I wasn’t wrong about the work,
just wrong about how it sounds—
Sometimes the climb goes quiet
when you’re closer now.
