Lyrics
Closer To You
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.
I see the things you do
Do you think I wander through half blind?
I see the things you hide
The fear you have inside is nothing new
But I would never want to find out everything about you
'Cause I would never want to find out
What I thought, wasn't true
Your mind is a place
I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough for me to start
Breaking through
And closer to you
Closer to you
I love you as you are
Near and not too far out of view
I love the way you walk, to hear it when you talk
Like you do
But I would never want to choose
What I like best about you
'Cause I would never want to spoil that
Mystery with a clue
Your mind is a place
I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart
Is enough for me to start
Filling up holes in my soul
I don't need your rock and roll to stay in tune
And open to you
Oh, the obviousness of all those frustrating fools
They wander all around, black and white,
No sound. No improvements.
But I see something like TV
But with a smell and a choice
When I feel yours and my heart beating
With the wealth of the universe
Your mind is a place
I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart
Is enough for me to start
Making your happiness my own Open up and let me show what I can
do
When I am closer to you
Closer to you
