[Intro]
Closer [x4]
[Verse 1]
Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer [x3]
[Chorus]
And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x4]
And i just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop [x4]
[Verse 2]
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tounge
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says come closer
[Chorus]
Come Closer [x7]
I just can't stop no [x4]
[Chorus]
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x5]
Come Closer

Bliss in my skull. Caught at a distance I won't tell.
The void is blooming. Earth revolution do me well, oh yeah.
Frog-eyed dreamer, primal freaks, and little spies that know no good.
All in closer, 2-ton murder. They turn it up in me.
Do as I said, do cum again. My pretty friends, yeah, cum on my spirit.
I'm not smaller. Was that Satan in my bed?
In the corner of everything unseen I see.
Frog-eyed dreamers, primal freaks, and little spies that know no good.
Want it closer, 2-ton murder. Turn it up in me.
Her 11-ton tongue stretches long to present,
Reality an insane poem.
While everything else in between is just veleda and...
I save the pain, swallow the pain.
It takes me away, yeah.
Said all the way, yeah all the way. It lifts me away into what's mine.
Do as I said, yeah cum again. My pretty friends, cum on my spirit.
I don't fear it--my spirit.

The sun should be halfway to china by now
The big lazy moon, well it's barely off of the ground
I'm on top of the world but my world is upside down
And all I have is You
Come closer, closer than ever
So close to me
Come closer, closer than ever
When I have You, I have all I need
They all expect me to have some great words to say
I'm searching for answers but I'm finding none today
There is no reason, you know, there is no rhyme
All I have is You
All I need is all I have
All I have is all I need
All I need is all I have
All I have is all I need is
All I have is all I need is You

I think I caught your fever
I felt it right away
I had the urge to tell you
But I still shyed away
& since you never told me
Then how was I to know
That you felt like me
To the third degree
& you didn't wanna let me go
The closer that you get to me
The more I wanna make you see
That you'll never find a love like mine
I think about you all the time
The closer that I get to you
The less I feel I have to prove
That you'll never find a love like mine
I really need you in my life
Closer
Emotions secondary
My body loved you first
It's in the way you touch me
It only makes it worse
I can't control this feelin'
You're hittin' on my nerves
Let me guide you to the place
If you wanna taste
Cuz my love will fill you up
The closer that you get to me
The more I wanna make you see
That you'll never find a love like mine
I think about you all the time
The closer that I get to you
The less I feel I have to prove
That you'll never find a love like mine
I really need you in my life
Closer
Close to me
Is where you need to be
Cuz I can give you what you need
I'll never turn away
Here for you
So tell me what you wanna do
Be close to me
Cuz my love is all you need
The closer that you get to me
The more I wanna make you see
That you'll never find a love like mine
I think about you all the time
The closer that I get to you
The less I feel I have to prove
That you'll never find a love like mine
I really need you in my life
Closer
(Repeat to end)

It's just me and you and the man in the moon shinin' down
A blanket of stars up above and a quilt on the ground
I've waited so long to get you all alone in the dark
I just want to hold you till I feel the beat of your heart
I wanna get closer closer
Closer than moonlight that your body's wrapped in tonight yeah
Closer to heaven than I've ever been in my life
Before the night's over I wanna get closer
My two aching arms have been longing to hold you this way
These lips have been praying that I'd find the right words to say
I don't want to own you or try to control how you feel
I want you to need me believe me this feeling is real
I wanna get closer closer...
[ guitar ]
Oh closer than moonlight...
Before the night's over I wanna get closer

Close the door behind you. It's getting colder. Sitting in a lonely chair. Staring aimlessly. Step around the broken dreams. I want you closer to me. I wanna know. I wanna see. I wanna hold you and believe. Looking in the mirror. Finding only me. Searching for another one. Wanting to be free. Needing to find myself so much closer to you. To you.

well it rained again today, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it right before my eyes (wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it) But why talk about the weather when we could very well be selling umbrellas? I've got my own opinions on how to treat a love like this.
He should have held her closer, when it was all he had to do. When it was all he had to prove to all his closest friends. That she was a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night. I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening, the two of us in love.
When the sun went down tonight, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Right in front of me, you painted the sky in a violet scene. And I sat there in my car, shedding the tears that I could never have let you see. Beneath that asure moonlit sky I felt you right there with me. I know you're right here with me.
Snap back to it fall in line and let it go. all you got is a memory.
He should have held her closer, when it was all he had to do. When it was all he had to prove to all his closest friends. That she was a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night. I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening. the two of us in love.
(the sun goes down!)
when the sun goes down tonight, I'll set my eyes on the shoreline.
I'm gonna hold you closer, as if it's all I have to do. As if it's all I have to prove to all my closest friends. That she was a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night
I rest on a vision of the two of us in love

Closer, Feat Dwele
Detroit Deli: A Taste of Detroit
(Dwele, Intro)
There's something I wanted to know, can we get closer?
Yeah baby
Seems like I've waited to know, can we get closer?
(Elzhi) Verse 1
Yeah...Yeah
Girl you should come up for the week
I'll make you cum from the tub to the sink
Rubbing your feet in a luxury suit
Make sure you come with nothing on just a long shearling
And I'ma make ya toes curl up like there all ???
I'll whisper in your ear, tell ya something
Stick my tongue in ya bellybutton
Reach down below, ya know I'm well sprung
Hit ya from the back to get ya calfs trembling
And pull ya hair 'til its straight, you'll look half Indian, laughing, giggling
With champagne bubbles tickle ya nose
Before you I wouldn't throw my old nickles at ho's
I'm just glad we can get close, for breakfast in the morning
We can fly out to Paris France for the French toast
You made me wait so long and that's a good thing
Now let me make ya candy rain dampen your thong
I hit it off likea champion strong, for real
Your still bumpin and grindin even after the song but all along I, I....
REPEAT, Chorus
(T3) Verse 2
Let me talk to ya, feel me for a sec,
I love ya sassy ways I must confess
Ya lookin good girl, I hope you into sex,
Sort of a model type with a splash of innocence
Ya fast charms, ass like ya mums,
I love that Tiffany charm thats hangin from ya arm
And if we get it on I'ma take her back to the fort,
Show her how I run game like an athlete in sport
Sweety I can see that money ain't a thing
Been doin this for a while no need to explain it,
Ya doing swell girl, ya never doin poorly,
Ya know I'm hopping in whips just look at the jewerly
Plus you need a man in your life,
Yo someone who can hit it right, and plus got the right doe
Plus I'll treat you like a queen,
Yo your place or mine I was thinking we should get close
REPEAT, Chrous
(Dwele)
Alot of cats have tried it
I like to touch the na na, I
I know u act real shy but, (Know you get down!)
Ur not that type we go
Just keep it low and let it go
No need to act up cause, i (Know you get down!)
Can we get closer tonite
I'LL make u cry
Touch u inside baby, i (Make you get down)
Hold you very close with or without clothes
Public or closed doors
We will get closer, yea

I'm not satisfied in this lifetime
I'm following you to the other side
There's nothing that can change my mind
You're all I need
You're the only tie that binds my heart
Away from you I'm falling apart
We need to be closer than we are
You're all I need
So what can I do to get closer?
I know there is more my heart can bear
I give you control 'cause I need you
To take me there
Like a bird flying southI'm seeking you out
And there's no rope that can tie me down
I'm running home, I'm a slave set free
You're all I need
I am waiting
Draw me closer
I am waiting
Make me stronger

I've had enough
of this parade
I'm thinking of
the words to say
We open up
unfinished parts
Broken up
it's only love
And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Keep waking up (waking up)
without you here (without you here)
another day (another day)
another year (another year)
I seek the truth (seek the truth)
We set apart (we set apart)
Second dance
Second chance (a second chance)
And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
And when I see you then I know
it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
I'll never leave you
Just need to get closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Closer, closer

If I had the ways to show you, we could fly away
Like a satellite floating out in space
If I had the means to reach you, I could celebrate,
With a carnival dancing on parade dancing on parade
I wanna get closer to you
I wanna walk around inside your shoes
I wanna get closer, closer that you've ever seen
I wanna get inside you, closer to you
I wanna be the blood inside your veins
I wanna get closer, closer that you've ever seen
I wanna be inside you.
It seems you hide behind the make-up and turn it all around
Like a circus clown, laughing at the crowd.
It seems to me that when I call you a thousand times a day
You just smash up the phone and throw my dreams away
Throw my dreams away.
Chorus repeat

I can tell by the things you do
there's a wall between me and you
I can tell by the things you said
all the thoughts running through your head
There's a lie hidden in your smile
it's been going on for quite a while
I can tell by the things you said
all the thoughts running through your head
Closer to me
I hope our love will find a way
Closer to me
Tell me why can't we try
is it so hard to come
Closer to me
I hope our love will find a way
Closer to me
Tell me why can't we try
is it so hard to come
Closer
I can tell by the things you do
there's a wall between me and you
I can tell by the things you said
all the thoughts running through your head
There's a lie hidden in your smile
it's been going on for quite a while
I can tell by the things you said
all the thoughts running through your head
Closer to me
I hope our love will find a way
Closer to me
Tell me why can't we try
is it so hard to come
Closer
Closer
Closer
Closer to me
I hope our love will find a way
Closer to me
Tell me why can't we try
is it so hard to come
Closer to me
I hope our love will find a way
Closer to me
Tell me why can't we try
is it so hard to come
Closer
Closer

Histories are held within your heart
So let it go
Open all the doors around your eyes
And let us know
Certain keys are held within your hand
So let it show
Bring us closer to the flame
Bring us closer to the fire
Where's the spark within your eye
Where's the spark
Thunder in your ears
Until you can't hear this at all
Rivers flowing tears
Until your destinies dissolve
Drifting through the years
Until a voice receives your callBring us closer to the fire
Bring us closer to the flame
The end and beginning are the same
It's all the same
Mysteries are kept within your heart
So let it show
Open all the doors around your eyes
And let us know
Certain keys were held until they must have let you go
Bring us closer to the flame
Bring us closer to the fire
This world can't take us any higher

I see you, walking everyday, with a smile beneath frown,
But I won't look away, yeah, what does it mean?
What's there to see? If I look closer, closer,
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer,
Where are you going? And what are you thinking at all?
Your eyes show nothing more, than a dazed oblivion,
What does it mean? What will I see?
When I look closer, closer, closer, closer, closer,
Closer, closer, closer, ah, yeah,
You don't see me, watching everyday, my smile could warm your frown,
And I'd never look away never look away,
There's more to me There's more to me,
Than what you see, when you look closer, closer, closer,
Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer,
Closer, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Closer, closer, closer, no, no, no,
Fade Out

Come a little closer to it baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Come a-closer to it baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Well, you come close and walk away?
Either way you're gonna wind up on your knee
Come closer closer baby
You ain't got as close as you can get
Yeah right
You ain't got as close as you can get
Well the way I see it babe
Honey child you ain't seen nothing yet
Yeah right
Why you won't do right?
Won't do right. Won't do right.
Why you won't do right?
Can't you hear me cryin'?
Can't you hear me cryin'?
Come a little closer closer baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Come closer closer baby
You can't see the forest for the tree
Well, you come close and walk away?
Either way you're gonna wind up on your knee

I will you to me like a river
Wash away all the war paint from your face
I want you to be happy
I want you to be safe
I waited for you like a lion
Lay you down
Weigh me down
You make my limbs ache
I want you to be near me
I want you to escape
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
Closer
Summertime in the heat
Summer dive in the sheets
Waterslide into me
Come closer
My body's holding you for ransom
Gotta make it happen
Honey's gotta get paid
I want you at an angle
I want you face to face
You burn like motorcycle blue
I love the way you do it
Like it down the freeway
I need you like confession
I need you like a faith
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
Closer
Summertime in the heat
Summer dive in the sheets
Waterslide into me
Come closer
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

Loving you madly will be forever.
I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together.
There are no boundaries. There are no limits.
My heart has been embraced now that you're in it.
Hold me closer to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
Time passes by, seconds into minutes.
Every field and flower fades but love is infinite.
There are no boundaries. There are no limits.
My heart's a bigger place now that you're in it.
Hold me closer to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to.
All I want is to be closer. Closer to you.
How tight can you hold me?
How long can we stay awake?
How hard can we laugh?
How much love can we make?
Hold me close to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to.
All I want is to be closer. Closer to you.
(Melanie Chisholm/Rick Nowels/Billy Steinberg)

Want to get closer, in too deep
Where there is something I wish for
I go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
I've got it all inside myself
Salvation...(???)
Nothing can turn it around
[Chorus]
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for something that makes me whole
From a higher ground
Am I falling in the right direction
Falling apart
There's nothing real
Devil convince me to change
But I go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
There is just nothing to betray
Salvation...(???)
Nothing can turn it around
[Chorus x4]
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for something that makes me whole
From a higher ground
Am I falling in the right direction

9:20 in the valley of the sun
Contruction lights burn out on the 101
There's a restless feeling in the center of my soul
That wont let go now
Once again i am feeling the pain
Of a hunger for the answer to the questions that remain
Like a thirst that knows no quenching, a longing for a home
I think i know now
Everyday i get a little closer
Everyday i get a little closer
What ever happened to the days of my youth
Trusting was easy when i could see the truth
Still believing your redemption but i'm looking for the proof
I'm not alone now
Everyday i get a little closer
Everyday i get a little closer
Everyday i get a little closer
Everyday i get a little closer

Everyday I get a little closer, dear
Will you love me darling when I get there?
I'll need sunshine, I'll need rest
Pour us whiskey, water, kiss
Remember me, she said smiling
Write my name somewhere safe
Touch and taste
Fades with space
I'll never be who you'll dream
Everyday I try a little harder, dear
But those things you do, I don't wanna hear
You'll have yours, I'll have mine
No one guilty, no one right
La la la
La la la
You'll have yours, I'll have mine
No one guilty, no one right
Everyday I get a little closer, dear
Gonna drive fast all night till I get there
Not much time we can waste
Nothing great left to save

verse 1 (MC Lyte)
In the three on the deegan, we be freakin'
Bobbin' and weavin' my peeps sleepin'
Steady creepin' dippin' in the jeepin'
Dones be peepin', benjis we be keepin'
Cheddar we be spending, niggas ain't cheapin'
Hip hoppin' bobbin' with the beat and
I'm not concieted just never been defeated
Test and get that ass beated
The wanna act like I can't flow phatly
When they attack me I got skills to back me
Go ahead now simulate that
How they forget who originated that
Ladies and gentlemen the ruffneck is back
More potent than a foul vile of crack
I keep you open like a BM hatchback
While you keepin' my tape draped up in yo' knapsack
(chorus)
You comin' closer and closer, I thought I told you
You know that I will toast you
You're not supposed to come closer and closer
I thought I told you, you know that I will toast you
Don't come closer
verse 2 (Space Nine)
Yo, I write my own, but-uh who's writin' your rhymes
Oh you independent now 'coz you bitin' my lines
Listen, two flamin' bitches hide yo' claiming and sixes
Shines so bright can't see us in pictures
Leavin' non believers in ditches
Those who can acchieve won't percieve our existance
They need verbal assistance, check it
All them things you say you got, we now your makin' it up
To get a man in a club, you steady shakin' it up
See thay played my song twice 'coz they can't get enough
I'd say put yourself in my shoes but they cost too much
Space Nine bustin' 16 bars on Lyte's time
We write rhymes, y'all chicks is puppets on mic time
While I, chanel stars through pipe lines
Illuminate the sky day and night make my presence defined
Yo, blue Gucci sale platinum tag taped to my leg
Promise no threat, shine on my neck signing my cheques
(chorus) x2
verse 3 (MC Lyte)
You can't afford to be nasty if you ask me
Tryin' to pass me but can't outlast me
Sweet like like nector comin' in your sector
Movin' in your direction, takin' over your section
Am I bad no question they just a fraction
Tryin' to get some action from the section
Ain't that somethin' I got your crew jumpin' and bumpin'
While you talkin' nothing
I bring it to you with no hesitation
'Coz the top is where I rest but it's your destination
And I know this so I'm puttin' you on notice
Don't you come too close to this
I got the gift to forsee the drama like they know me
Pullin' up slowly and tryin' to bring out the ol' me
But I'm brand spank comin' for your bank
Not nigga what you think but what you thought, and now you caught
Long as you live and for eternity
You're only bad as Lyte the MC allows you to be
Not easy to sabbotage wiser than the average
You can jack me now and later you can peep my, catalogue
You gotta alphernumeric but you can't read
DKNY frames but you can't see
How I'm blow up like a stick of dynie and burn that hynie baby
C'mon I'm beggin' try me
(chorus) x2

Things change yet so much stays the same
Lifes just a dream we have of reality
Love's strength enhances what we have
And then strips us of our sanity
Still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
It's strange
Yet somehow obvious
That what we want the most
We must let go
Your head is freer still than mine
And not so cluttered with morality
Still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
Closer to you
Memories cloud our minds
Invading too much time
We build our own cages
Blames of no significance
In love its of no relevance to life
This very moment
I try every day
So still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
So still I stay
Growing strong
Every day
Closer to you
Closer to you

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me...I broke apart my insides
Help me...I got no soul to sell
Help me..the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
You can have my isolation...
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith...
You can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason
Help me, it's your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You had to lose
A funny thing the part we can't play
I'd love to offer you with all the blame
But now we have to choose
Another round for all my friends and me
Another poke at sensibility
We've found out
Why are we floundering
I'm drowning in the reveler's sin
I've taken you up on your offerings
I don't even know it's good bye
You had to lose
Always knew that we weren't quite the same
I blew it up with everyone who ever knew me
Had to change
A revidescent light to shine the way
And we're not always following the same way out now
Why are we floundering
I'm drowning in the reveler's sin
I've taken you up on your offerings
I don't even know it's good bye
Goodbye

you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me I broke apart my insides, help me I've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason I stay alive

So, we're alone again
i wish it were over
we seem to never end
only get closer
to the point where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
hush my baby now
your talking is just noise and won't lay me down amongst
your toys in a room where i can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry
photographs and brightly colored paper
are your mask you wear in this caper
that is our life
we walk right into the strife
and a tear from your eye brings me home
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
all you have to do is cry

Maybe it's possible to see a bond destroyed once more
You're too scared of getting closer
It's getting too hard to ignore
I ask, "How do you live?"
"Will you ever walk away from it?"
Watching the lines all disappear
And don't consider it severe
I'll make this turn out the way it has to be
So
So think of your last move and I'll make my plans
See, I leave you behind me
So now I've got to fix, got to fix all this
Fix what's holding me back
Fix what you've become
And now I'm turning into, what you want in me
As you're watching the lines disappear
So
So you make your last move and I'll make my plans
See, I leave you behind me
It's time to go
It seems so intriguing but I built this myself
See, I leave you behind me
So listen to me now, try to follow my lead
When I close my eyes comfort carries over me
Cause I can feel inside a sense of a waking dream
Can you admit that you were wrong again?
Can you admit to the fact that you can't answer now and then?
I'll make this turn out the way it has to be
So you make your last move and I'll make my plans
See, I leave you behind me
It's time to go
It seems so intriguing but I built this myself
See, I leave you behind me
Try to understand
That nothing is going as planned
And now its all so clear to me
I've lost all control
And it's already too late
It's already far too late

I love the way you look at me
Can't you see
You're the only one that I could ever need?
Can't you feel how much
How much I wanna get
Maybe just a little, just a little bit
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
I gotta make a secret confession
All I really want is all your affection
Get a little crasy every time we touch
Close as we are, we could get so much
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
Baby don't you wanna get
Maybe just a little bit
Look into my eyes
Just get hypnotized
One little magic kiss
We could always feel like this
Come on over here and get
Closer
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
Baby don't you wanna get
Maybe just a little
One little magic kiss
Look into my eyes
Just get hypnotized
Come on over here

Closer to my dreams
Getting over, I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher
Feel it in my sleep
Some times it feels like I'll never go pass again
Some times it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever
When I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I ain't gonna sleep
Some times you just have to let it go (Let it go, let
it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believe
I'm happy as long as we're apart
Then I'm moving on to my dreams
I'll be moving higher (Moving higher)
Closer to my dreams
And higher and higher, higher
Feel it in my being (I can feel it flow around me)
I know that I could not go alone (No, no)
I'm moving higher (Higher), oh...
I'm going higher and higher and higher (Higher and
higher)
Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh...oh...)
I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms so I can breathe)
Feels so close it's like strange
I can feel my dreams (Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
I'm moving (Higher and higher) higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
Moving higher, ho...
Some times it feels like you never gon' change (Never
gon' change)
But you never choose to walk away

Dark skies settle down,
Move back and fade away.
Oh. Baby take my hand,
Take me to a yesterday.
I see a little girl
Running in an open park,
Tears driven down her face by shame
That crushes her heart
Day after day & step after step,
She tries to run away just to forget.
She's on a tightrope
That just won't ever give,
My hands on her sweet face,
I'm never to forget
I'm never to forget
I'm never to forget the moment
When my skin touched yours
I tremble inside you
But not like before
I can't get much closer to you now
I can't get much closer to you now
You take what's inside me
Day after day & step after step,
She tries to run away just to forget.
She's on a tightrope
That just won't ever give,
My hands on her sweet face,
I'm never to forget
I'm never to forget
I'm never to forget the moment
When my skin touched yours
I tremble inside you
But not like before
I can't get much closer to you now
You take what's inside me
I can't get much closer to you now
You take what's inside me

sometimes I don't want to know
I don't want to know myself
sometimes I don't want to love
cause I don't feel it for myselfhow can I improve on something
I don't know, so come closer
come closer, come closer, come closer
so I can drive you away
I'll manipulate the stupid game
with my own confusion
and I'll be bending all the fuckin' rules
with my own self doubt
and if I seem uncomfortable
do I seem uncomfortable
it's cause I am, my own mind
my peace is hard to find
secrecy in my mind
mysteries countless as the world outside
so come closer
drive you away

Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
To be trapped
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
Your dream world is a very scary place
To be trapped inside
To be trapped inside
To be trapped inside
All your life
Shine in time
Shine in time
Shine in time
Until you find
Your closer
Your closer
To the truth
Within you
Within you
Within you
Is the truth
That your dream world is a very scary place
That your dream world is a very scary place
That your dream world is a very scary place
To be trapped inside
To be trapped inside
To be trapped inside
All your life
Your closer
Your closer
Your closer
To the truth
Within you
Within you
Within you
Is the truth

Nothing, nothing
Nothing I like better
Together, now together
Nothing I like better
Closer [sampling]
[1:]
Sometimes
This feels so right
I'm losin' my mind
I wish that we could stop
And stop time
Then we could be together
All night
There's nothing I like better
Getting closer (Closer)
Closer (Closer)
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer
Nothing, nothing
Nothing I like better
Together, now together
Nothing I like better
Closer [sampling]
[2:]
Somehow
I stop myself from cryin'
Out loud
When I'm with you
'Cause I'm so proud
To be your only lover
And now
There's nothing I like better
Getting closer (Closer)
Closer (Closer)
Closer (Closer)
Closer (Closer)

Well you thought you let go, but you're still hanging on
Mother Earth's slowing down
She's still spinning around and we......are getting dizzy
I'll drop out of the race for more personal space
'Cause the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin
It's just how I'm feeling
If you need more love, well you've gotta get close to me
If you want my love, well you've gotta get closer to me
No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I'll stitch
You are tears, I'm a cheek
I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks
But if you want my love, well you've gotta get close to me
If you need my love, well you've gotta get closer to me
Ooh, if you want my love:
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees, all wrapped up
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up
You're my shirt iron-on, I'm the tick, you're the bomb
You're the L and the V, I'm the O and the E
Am I speaking clearly?
If you want my love, well you've gotta get close to me
Ooh, if you want my love:
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch

Closer
If I touch the flames
I might get burned, baby
Closer
If I hesitate - will I ever learn
Not to take this love for granted
Lay our loving on the line
'Cause we are on this boat together
And we have to have an open mind
Memories of you like an echoe in my mind
Will I be caught in this trap 'til the end of time
Since you've been gone I've been down
I've been spinning my wheels
Just thinking about what you did to me
Is giving me chills
They say that time
Time is all that I need
That's the price that you have to pay
For a dirty deed
Closer...
Visions of us walking side by side in the rain
I want you back in my life, will I see you again
When we were together
No mountains that I couldn't climb
Hard times that I couldn't handle
Nowhere to be found
They say that time
Time is all that I need
That's the price that I have to pay
For a dirty deed
Closer...

Yo I started out in Iraq the wrong route
More chickens to doubt more money to count
Yo my Swiss account with more cheese amount
It's still piling and still gettin' calls from the island
Still do the things I do when I was wildin'
Tryin' to go from penny loafers to mink sofas
Spend a week with dime chickens asfreaks
Body so bangin' I call they tits Santy

Ask chicks scream loud like car beats
I wanna be under the seats in our streets
Last year around the time this year
If I would of got locked
YoI wouldn't even get it but now I got this rap thing (what)
No more hustlin' at age ten my team played to win
Reach under the car seat nobody understandin'
Yo the black struggle gotta hustle to hustle
And once you get muscle nobody trust you
Tryin' to be like Goldy in the Shaft days
These lasts days comin' up
Yo these little niggas comin' up
Hear they're gun talk ready to buck
Not thinkin'
Black on black crime yo it's swine you're both stinkin'
Pretty Ake yo Stan to Marley yo it's poppie offically

Nobody with it
Label said 2-5 is to thugged out (to thugged out)
So although we had to but God wasn't glad to
Wait our turn to boiler now we burn
On the daily done fuckin' in every telly
We can Fly just like R.Kelly
Them only secondary to the sun
I think I gotta son but I ain't sure
What's in store God there's more
Shortie says she came by knockin' at my door
Could it be tryin' to be what I can be
Islam me 2-5 my army
Said she about to have my seed
Soon to be it shocked me
Thinkin' bout a little me
Eternally I bleed thinkin' of seed yo at high speed
I multiply with weed
Now I slow my life down I got time to breath

Rot in cages we crouch naked
Waiting for the rest to land
Extended faith they betrayed our friendship
Imprisoned us by our own hand
Time for us to wake and rise up
May be too late but we must attack
Either that or we'll know forever
We're born cowards and we can't fight back
Prodded punctured probed and tested
Is this the way man was born to live?
Bred like cattle and raised for slaughter
Without a soul we've nothing more to give
And the war begins from behind cages
Feed no more, rot, we're useless dead
The only way to win is to starve them
The way to win is to end our lives
Our sacrifice renders our flesh useless
Our death is life for the few outside
The future for these struggling rebels
Who gather armies for the final fight
Without strength our captors weaken
We do our best to do our best and die

Loving you madly will be forever.
I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together.
There are no boundaries. There are no limits.
My heart has been embraced now that you're in it.
Hold me closer to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
Time passes by, seconds into minutes.
Every field and flower fades but love is infinite.
There are no boundaries. There are no limits.
My heart's a bigger place now that you're in it.
Hold me closer to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to.
All I want is to be closer. Closer to you.
How tight can you hold me
How long can we stay awake
How hard can we laugh
How much love can we make
Hold me close to your dreams.
Closer to your fears. Close to hear your laughter.
Hold me when you're close to tears.
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to.
All I want is to be closer. Closer to you.

As close as the sea is to the seashore
Tide still rises twice a day
That's just the ocean's way of getting
Closer, closer.
As close as today is to tomorrow
At midnight they can fin'lly touch
Cause every minute brings them that much closer
Closer
So on this silent night
I call your name
And suddenly all time and space disappears
I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though you're gone
I know you're here
As close as the glow is to the ember
You've always been a part of me
Now living in my heart you're even closer
Closer.
I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you're gone
I know you're heeeere....
As sure as there's snowfall in December
Your love lives in everything
Summer Winter Fall or Spring
Every thought of you will bring us closer
The distance may be large or small
Someday I pray that we may all be
Closer...
Closer.

Oh yeah
I met this girl named Donna
From B.M Alabama
I really like that smile
Those legs, they went for miles
I asked her what's her name
While sizin' up her frame
Feelin' some type of way about her
She was all up on me, couldn't say no
Got a plane to catch but she won't let me go
I really love my life, but I'm missin' just one thing
That woman by my side, forever and always
[Chorus x2]
Come, a little bit closer
Spread out, like you were a poster
Girl I want to, put it on you
Ain't nobody here, it's just you and me baby
Ain't nobody here, I say we get a little crazy
Let's take it to the room, so many things I wanna do
Girl your kisses just like caramel
Smooth like ice-cream, straight from ?Carvel?
Can't control my hands (I can't control my hands)
I hope you understand
I want you to...
[Chorus x2]
Come, a little bit closer
Spread out, like you were a poster
Girl I want to, put it on you
Can't nobody tell me, that I don't love this girl
It's drivin' me crazy, I'm tryna offer her the world
And when I think about the past, don't wanna bring it back
Lonely missin' heartache is all I ever had
Come closer, come closer
To me
I want you to
[Chorus x2]
Come, a little bit closer
Spread out, like you were a poster
Girl I want to, put it on you

And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find
Solitude Your peace of mind
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly

Closer to my dreams
Getting over, I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher
Feel it in my sleep
Some times it feels like I'll never go pass again
Some times it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever
When I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I ain't gonna sleep
Some times you just have to let it go (Let it go, let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believe
I'm happy as long as we're apart
Then I'm moving on to my dreams
I'll be moving higher (Moving higher)
Closer to my dreams
And higher and higher, higher
Feel it in my being (I can feel it flow around me)
I know that I could not go alone (No, no)
I'm moving higher (Higher), oh...
I'm going higher and higher and higher (Higher and higher)
Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh...oh...)
I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms so I can breathe)
Feels so close it's like strange
I can feel my dreams (Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
I'm moving (Higher and higher) higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
Moving higher, ho...
Some times it feels like you never gon' change (Never gon' change)
But you never choose to walk away

Closer
We need to get a little closer
Need to connect with each other
Before we forget how to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
Better
It's gonna be a little better
We will be free if we surrender
And know what it means to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
Only when I open up my eyes to the truth
Can I see my own reflection mirrored in you
You look a little deeper and you will see
We were meant to be closer
Closer
We need to get a little closer
Need to connect with each other
Before we forget how to love
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer
I still believe in love
I know I'm not dreaming
Life is only what we want to make of it
Everybody needs to get a little bit closer

Loving you madly will be forever
I see the ocean in your eyes when we're together
There are no boundaries
There are no limits
My heart has been embraced now that you're in it
Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears
Time passes by seconds into minutes
Every field and flower fades but love is infinite
There are no boundaries
There are no limits
My heart's a bigger place now that you're in it
Hold me closer to your dreams
Closer to your fears
Close to hear your laughter
Hold me when you're close to tears
I wanna be the one you tell your secrets to
All I want is to be closer
Closer to you
