[Verse 1]
Now I yearn to
Follow you in
Everything I do
All those years in isolation
Helped me want for you
Lead me to a
Place I'm free from
All the wrongs I do
[Pre-Chorus]
In return I'll live my life
Forever loving you
[Chorus]
Closer
I'm here to be closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
Closer
I'm ready now closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
[Verse 2]
In my mind
Eternal darkness
Seemed like it was true (true, true, true)
Oh, so wretched, wretched, wretched, wr-wretched
My savior knew (I was lost)
I was weary
I was sleepy
But you held me through
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Carried me along the sand
Your footsteps gold and couth
[Chorus]
Closer
I'm here to be closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
Closer
I'm ready now closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
[Outro]
All those years in
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Who's in a bad mood?
Who's in a taxi?
Turning the clock back
Avoiding a fight with this man
He is meeting, stands in the lobby
Counting his questions in the neon light
Sinking under the river
Sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs
Back to the beach where
A family is waiting
On rumors of summer
Lay out a blanket
Bring something to feed the birds
With all the luck you've had, why are your songs so sad?
Sing from a book you were reading in bed and took to heart
All of your lives unled, reading in bed
