Closer

Verse 1:
I am not an only child, not designed to be.
Coincidence, an accident, not like this usually.
If I'm given half a chance,
Will I sink or swim?
Will I be washed up by the loneliness,
As soon as I begin?
Chorus:
It's closer.
It's closer when you make it in,
Feeling that you're cast aside.
You just can't win, when you're livin' in a bubble.
Closer.
Closer to the edge again,
Feeling that you're on the slide,
I just want in, cause I'm livin' in a bubble.
Verse 2:
I've been fascinated by the thoughts provoking me.
Mistook myself for someone else who enjoys sympathy.
So if I'm given half the chance,
I won't sink, I'll swim.
I won't be washed up by the loneliness,
Just watch as I begin.
Chorus
Bridge 1:
It's all mine.
I won't slide.
I'm not the kind to be denied,
It's all that I can bare...
I told you, the feeling that you can't deny,
You know it when it plays your mind.
You know, you know,
When you're livin' in a bubble.
Chorus
Verse 3:
I am not an only child,
Not designed to be.
