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.
Well I've been thinking, and thinking about
All the kicking. The screaming and shouting
If I can change
Been thinking about the things that I wanna
Don't tell me you haven't been thinking too
If we can't talk then there's nothing to do
Don't you think we deserve to be happy?
Can't see you smiling if you're not looking at me
Sometimes the closer and closer you get
Feels like further and further away
And when it's right in front of your face
You turn away
So don't turn away from happiness
Don't turn away from a love you'll miss
Don't turn away
Don't turn away from me
I wanna tell you, tell you the truth
My heart is broken and my ego is bruised
I know it now, I wish I knew it then
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
Don't wanna do it if I don't have you with me
Don't you think we deserve to be happy?
I know you feel it, won't you say that you love me
(Say that you love me)
I know that you love me
Sometimes the closer and closer you get
Feels like further and further away
And when it's right in front of your face
You turn away
So don't turn away from happiness
Don't turn away from a love you'll miss
Don't turn away
Don't turn away from me
Baby
Won't you let me in?
Won't you let me in?
Let me in,
Won't you let me in?
Let me in,
Cause I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Closer, closer to you
Closer
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)
Closer
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)
I wanna get closer
Closer baby
Closer baby
Closer baby baby babe to you
