This song is not originally of Evanescence, but for a band called So Close. However, when they disbanded, Evanescence covered it and put it on their EP. On Ben's BMI Repertoire, there is no song called ''So Close''.


Notice that [[Lithium]] (track 4 on [[The Open Door]]) has some similarites in its guitar part and the So Close intro could easily fit as an intro for the guitar of the [[Lithium]] verses.
On September 15, 2019 a video of Evanescence performing back in 1998 was uploaded by Nick Williams, which includes the song ''So Close'' with Will Boyd singing the vocals. Watch the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxw1RvsFXJA here]'.

Lyrics

I've spent so much time
Throwing rocks at your window
But I never even knocked
On your front door

I walk by statues
Never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark
On the monument of your heart
I just might lay myself down
For a little more hope than I had
The last day
The last day
The last day

Wait a time
To spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time it's sweeter than honey
