Lyrics
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.
He knows, inside
He's got himself to stand beside
Alone, but still
All will be fulfilled, it will, so...
Breathe
Are we getting closer?
Falling to your knees
To get a little higher
We're all a little broken, hoping
To get closer
A little closer
She read that life
Was just a way of keeping time
Inside the lines
One more moment
Whispered through her tears
Are we getting closer?
Falling to your knees
To get a little higher
We're all a little broken, hoping
To get closer
A little closer
Yeaaaaaaaaah!
Yeaaaaaaaaah!
We won't run away
We won't run away
We won't run away
We are a war away
We won't run away
We won't run away
We won't run away
We are a war away
We won't run away
We won't run away
We won't run away
We won't, we won't
Breathe
Are we getting closer?
Falling to your knees
To get a little higher
We're all a little broken, hoping
To get closer
A little closer
A little closer
A little closer...
