| Why with you is it always all or nothing
|
| What seemed important then now turns to dust
|
| God I know it hurts to be this lonely
|
| I know it’s hard to live life out of trust
|
| But night cannot reveal the coming morning
|
| And morning never knows how the day will end
|
| But me without you, I’m left here wanting
|
| Lost inside my own life once again
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I’m feeling my way in the cold light of day
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I’m feeling my way, nearer each day
|
| Why does it always feel like I’m running backwards
|
| There’s always just one more mile to go
|
| And all this time we’ve struggled just like lovers
|
| A struggle that no words could ever show
|
| You must have sensed I was growing reckless
|
| You must have known my pain was very real
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I’m pulling the weight of a million years
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I find myself out on this old road again
|
| Closer, closer
|
| You’ve lived this life and you know what it’s like
|
| Closer, closer
|
| You know how it feels, you know it’s a fight
|
| Oh
|
| Why does it always hurt when you get close to me
|
| Why do I pull away when you draw near
|
| You know that you’re my life and my love only
|
| All my inner failings disappear
|
| Seems to me my heart burned down again last night
|
| Leaves me out here wandering in the cold
|
| Somewhere in the distance you were calling me
|
| Somewhere in the distance lies my home
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I’m feeling the weight of a million years
|
| Closer, closer
|
| I find myself out on this cold road again
|
| Closer, closer
|
| You’ve lived this life you know what it’s like
|
| Closer, closer
|
| You know how it feels, you know its a fight
|
| Closer, closer
|
| Closer, closer |
