[Verse 1: Sampha]
Can't get, said can't get close
Father, hope you're listening
Mum, she's doin alright cause God's listening
Something right, that's what you wanted
And we wanted to, try to fit it
Your love, it was falling
Maybe all I care about is you, maybe all I care about
(Give it to me)
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, no I can't get close
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, I can't close to you
But, there you are, when you walked out that door
Oh I care, all I want is more
Don't take control, run to sorrow
Been buildings in, pouring out pouring out. See you
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, no I can't get close
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, I can't close to you
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, no I can't get close
See I can't get, can't get close
Can't get, I can't close to you
Oh, I'll never, no I never, will lose your love
See you never, ever really knew all it
Oh, oh, you take me
Oh, love you've taken me over
Oh, love you taken me over
Oh, love you've taken me
Oh love you've taken me apart
And then you can't get close
And then you can't get close to, to you
