Closer

Closer

I wish I was closer to you

The circumstance has changed

Your touch has left a stain

Closer

I wish I was closer to you

Won't let this feeling pass

Letting go is too much to ask

I realize, with time, where it went wrong

How easy to erase what's set in stone

Some things, they can't be educated

Put blame on pride

I'm not by your side

When I could be closer

I wish I could be closer to you

Though two souls may collide

Don't mean they'll stay aligned

Oh, ohh, closer

I wish I was closer to you

Can't face the undertow

Too afraid to let it go

Oh

Oh, I wonder if you feel the same at all

Can we blossom, will we bloom after this fall?

How does endlessness become a short exchange?

Were we wrong? Can it change?

What would we give to be closer?

I wish I was closer to you

A thirst we'll never quench

But at whose heart's expense?

Ohh, I could be closer

I wish I was closer to you

Oh, another wasted prayer

Too far beyond repair

Ooh

(Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, ahh)

Ohh, oh-oh

(Ooh, sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, ahh) Oh, baby

Oh, baby

Oh, let me be beside you

Let me be beside you

Oh, darling, oh

Oh, let me be beside you

I got to be beside you

Oh, darling
