Lyrics Close Most of the Time - Rhett Miller

Close Most of the Time

I had a run from seventeen to twenty-five
That was pretty good
I gave up on college life
Moved back to the neighborhood
Got a 1969
White Ranchero almost-ran
Got a girl who didn’t mind
When I withdrew she’d understand
I was broke then
But unbroken
Desperate by design
Don’t always get it right
But I’m close
Most of the time
Twenty-five to twenty-nine
I was makin' it, I was miserable
I moved out by the «Hollywood» sign
Lived alone though the house was full
I got a 1993
Yellow stick-shift run-around
I got a girl who didn’t get me
When I withdrew, she’d put me down
Heartbroken
But still hopin'
Love would fall in line
Don’t always get it right
But I’m close
Most of the time
Don’t always get it right
But I’m close
Most of the time
Just when I’d given up on my good fortune
Damn near despaired of finding you
You come 'round with all your complications
And said «Boy, you’re broken.
Let’s see what we can do»
Let’s see what we can do
Twenty-nine to present-day
We wound up with a family
Said goodbye to loneliness
When I withdraw, you come to me
I’m broken
We’re all broken
We just keep on trying
Don’t always get it right
But I’m close
Most of the time
And I
Don’t always get it right
But I’m close
Most of the time
Most of the time
Most of the time
Most of the time
