Closer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How many times can you turn away
You fall in love and then love falls away
You turn out the love when you turn out the lights
You hit the heavens when you hit the heights
How can I turn up the flame
You know how it kills me
Every time you say
Love is gone away
I get closer
It’s a give and take
Every time we break
I get closer
You get closer too, yeah
I love you, baby, ‘till death do us part
If love’s on the mend why not unbreak my heart
You start so many things, so why not let’s dance
Two times the love for a one time romance
How can I turn up the flame
You know how it kills me
Every time you say
Love is gone away
I get closer
It’s a give and take
Every time we break
I get closer
You get closer too, yeah
I don’t know why we fight
What’s wrong with always being right
It’s always those damnedest things
Can angels fly on broken wings
Every night when I’m alone in bed I still smell your perfume
Then I wake up in a sweat
I swear I still remember
Every time you say
I get closer
Every time you say
Love is gone away
I get closer
You get closer too, yeah
