So Close
The Evanescence EP, track 5
This song is mistaken for being called "The Last Day." Matt Outlaw plays the drums on this song. It was also written by Ben Moody, Matt Outlaw, and William Boyd.
So Close:
0:00 - 0:23
I’ve spent so much time Throwing rocks at your window That I never even knocked On the front door
Ahhhahhh Ahhhahhh Ahh
I walk by statues Never even made one chip, Ooo But if I could leave a mark On the monument of your heart I just might lay myself down, Oooo For a little more than what I had
The last day The last day The last day
1:57 - 2:40
Wait a time We'll spare these lies we tell ourselves These days have come and gone But this time is sweeter than honey
3:10 - 4:29

Some info:
This song was originally for a band called So Close, (notice that Amy had no part in writing this song) however when that band died, Evanescence covered it and put it on their EP.
Info from: ev.it
EDIT: (2010) So, apparently I've been quoted on EvReference, which is nice and all - but to those who don't understand my choice-of-words, when I said 'when that band died' I didn't mean LITERALLY the band members died, I meant it in the vein of 'when that band disbanded' or whatever. So, I'd think it would be of good taste to modify that part on the Reference. Yet again, the Reference needs so many modifications it's not even funny. When will somebody fix the footnotes is the top blunder on my list.

In th booklet img83.imageshack.us/img83/2636/evanescenceepversoll4.jpg as we can see, th song was written by Ben, Will and Outlaw. So, Will and Outlaw were in this band and Ben was a friend of them, or the 3 of them had edited a bit of the lyric? Was the song called "So Close" for that band? PS: the image is too big, so I've put here only the link

I believe both the band and the song was called So Close. I dunno much else about the band. Most of the little info came from ev.it most other forums have no clue about it.

PS: the image is too big, so I've put here only the link There is no booklet for the "Evanescence EP" it's just a one page insert and the image that you posted is the back cover.
In my first post, when I stated that it was Ben, Matt, and Will who wrote the song, that's the exact picture I got my information from. And I think a site.
The band and the song were both called "So Close." I remember reading this somewhere. It was their "theme," if you will, song for the band.[/size]

I have some questions about the lyrics: ^ Is it the or your front door? ^ I thought it was " Let's spare these lies we tell ourselves."
