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 finally 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 here
As sure as there’s snowfall in December
Your love lives in everything
Simmer, winter, fall or spring
Every thought of you brings us closer
The distance may be large or small
Someday I pray that we may all be closer
Come take my hand now
Know there is no doubt
I'm here for you
I'll be the truth
Someone in your life
Just look in my eyes
Know that you're home
You're not alone
All I know is I can't breathe
Without you next to me
Don't give up, don't let go
Come on get closer
Give all we have inside
Don't look back
Come on get closer
The world is ours tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
The world is ours tonight
I know who you are
You are in my heart
So don't say a word
I've already heard
I know your secrets
And every moment
This is our world
Our secret world
All you are is what I need
'Cause you know I still believe
So don't give up, don't let go
Come on get closer
Give all we have inside
Don't look back
Come on get closer
The world is ours tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
The world is ours tonight
Don't walk away, we can survive this if we try
Don't leave me here tonight please give me just a sign
I'll put my heart on the line
Don't give up, don't let go
Come on get closer
The world is ours tonight
Don't give up, don't let go
Come on get closer
Give all we have inside
Don't look back
Come on get closer
The world is ours tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
The world is ours tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
How many times can you turn away?
You fall in love and then love falls away
You turn out the love when you turn out the lights
You hit the heavens when you hit the heights
How can I turn up the flame?
You know how it kills me
Every time you say love is gone away
I get closer
It's a give and take every time we break
I get closer
You get closer too, yeah
I love you baby till death do us part
If love's on the mend, why not unbreak my heart?
You start so many things so why not let's dance
Two times the love for a one time romance
How can I turn up the flame?
You know how it kills me
Every time you say love is gone away
I get closer
It's a give and take every time we break
I get closer
You get closer too, yeah
And I don't know why we fight
What's wrong with always being right?
It's always those damnedest things
Can angels fly on broken wings?
And every night when I'm alone in bed
I still smell your perfume
Then I wake up in a sweat
I swear I still remember
(Every time you say...)
I get closer
It's a give and take every time we break
I get closer
Every time you say love is gone away
I get closer
Nothing, nothing
Nothing I like better
Together, now together
Nothing I like better
Closer
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
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)
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 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
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
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 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
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
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 myself
How 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
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me complicate you, you let me penetrate you
Help me I've torn apart my insides, help me Ive got no
Soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get
Away from myself
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You bring 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 f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You bring me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
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
Well you thought you let go
But you're still hangin' on
Mother Earth's slowing down
She's still spinning around
And we... are gettin' dizzy
I'll drop out of the race
For more personal space
'Cause the rocket we're in
Get so cold and I miss your skin...
It's just how I'm feelin'...
If you need more love
Well, you've got to get close to me
If you want my love
Well, you've got to get closer to me
No unreachable itch
If you hemmorage, 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...
If you want my love
Well, you've got to get close to me
If you need my love
Well, you've got to 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 FALLIN' FROM THE SKY YOU LIGHT UP
Light up...
You're my shirt, eye and arm
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 got to get close 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 FALLIN' FROM THE SKY YOU LIGHT UP
I don't understand why we can't get close enough...
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me.
Say what I know you'll say and say it through your teeth.
With pride keep every failure in.
And with pride hold on to the sinking.
Now in the deep and down your heart moves.
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how but I know I want out.
Wait for something better.
Will I know when it can be us?
Maybe that doesn't mean us.
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough.
Pull one excuse from another.
Just one excuse from another.
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

All your life
Shine in time

Until you find

To the truth
Within you

Is the truth
That 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 is such a lonely, lonely place
Your dream is such a lonely, lonely place
Your dream is such a lonely, lonely place
To be trapped inside
Trapped inside

All your life
Shine in time

To the truth
Within you
Within you
Within you
Closer
I've had enough
Of this parade
I'm thinking of
The words to say
We open up
Unfinished parts
Broken up
It's so mellow
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)
Thinking of
A second chance (a second chance)
And when I see you then i know it will be next to me
And when I need you 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 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
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that
On a dark, raging sea
Ships lay sleeping beneath
Overhead, spinning past
Hold me closer than that
Things we lost in the fire
How'd we ever get by?
Words will never take back
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
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 call
Bring 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
-Well I feel so messed up
I can't get clear
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'm neck deep in fear
My back feels like its been holdin' up the weight
of this house and these three cats
And my truck filled up with crap
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take, I get closer
A second at a time, usin' my breath
Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take
I'm gettin' closer
I'm gettin' a little bit closer
Yeah, cause life is not so simple
No it ain't just blah, blah, blah
I imagine my brain looks like a carousel on fire
And when I go into hiding
you know to just stay clear
You get it's not about you it's just
me fightin' me, fightin' me, fightin' me out here.
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take, I get closer
A second at a time, usin' my breath
Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take
I'm gettin' closer
I'm gettin' closer
And I still can't sit still
And I'm so tired but I lay here awake
wonderin' what you see
I wonder what is it you get
And why am I so lucky
Cause you haven't left me yet
Oh, you haven't even left me yet
Why am I so lucky?
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take, I get closer
A second at a time, usin' my breath
Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take, I get closer
A second at a time, usin' my breath
Maybe it's true I've got a fear of success
But with every little bang, every little push
every little step I take
I'm gettin' closer
I'm gettin' closer
I'm gettin' closer
I'm gettin' a little bit closer
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, (close....r) closer, closer, closer..., ah yeah-ie...
Closer, (ah ha) closer, (ah ha) closer, no, no, no, (ah ha)
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
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
Come closer
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste I've seen
The more I get, the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says, "Come closer"
Hey!
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop
Come closer, come closer
Come closer, come closer
Come closer, come closer
Come closer
I just can't stop, no
Said I just can't stop, no
Said I just can't stop, no
Said I just can't stop, no
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop
And I just can't pull myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop, I just can't stop
I just can't stop
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
Want to get closer, in too deep
Where there is something I wish for I’ll go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
I’ve got it all inside myself
Salvation you have preached is gone
No way, you can’t turn it around
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for this something missed before
From a higher ground
Will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more)
Falling apart
There’s nothing real
That will convince me to change but I’ll go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
There is just nothing to betray
Salvation you have preached is gone
No way, you can’t turn it around
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for this something missed before
From a higher ground
Will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more)
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for this something missed before
From a higher ground
Will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more)
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for this something missed before
From a higher ground
Will I fall in a right direction?
(Higher, searching for more)
Looking for a higher ground
Searching for this something missed before
From a higher ground
Will I fall in a right direction?
(noreaga)
Word up dun
Aight one time... do it like that one time I'm sayin'
No executes... no executes
Yo I started out in iraq the wrong route
More bitches to doubt more money to count
Yo my swiss account, with more cheese amount
Keep 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 bitches as freaks
Body so bangin' I call they're tits sants
Ask chicks scream loud like sam bates
I wanna be under the seats in our streets
Last year around the time this year
If I would of got locked
Yo I wouldn't even get it but now I got this rap thing
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 the gun talk ready to buck
Not thinkin'
Black on black crime yo it's swine you're both stinkin'
Pretty ake emore to mobb d yo it's poppie, offically
Arab natzi 2-5-2 we regluate this tune
(smoke)
You say you never leave the thugs alone,
You wanna be wit nore or capone
You say you like the way he holds his crone,
But you wouldn't leave him lonely
You say you like the waited 2-5 side,
But you wanna be his wife and push his ride
Stand by his side and feed his time,
But shorty you should hold him closely boy
(noreaga)
Yo I still remember when we first did it
Nobody with it
Label said 2-5 is 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 fucked 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
(smoke)
You say you never leave the thugs alone,
You wanna be wit nore or capone
You say you like the way he holds his crone,
But you wouldn't leave him lonely
You say you like the waited 2-5 side,
You wanna be his wife and push his ride
Stand by his side and feed his time,
But shorty you should hold him closely
You say you never leave the thugs alone,
You wanna be wit nore or capone
You say you like the way he holds his crone,
But you wouldn't leave him lonely
You say you like the waited 2-5 side,
You wanna be his wife and push his ride
Stand by his side and feed his time,
But shorty you should hold him closely boooooooooy
(noreaga)
Hold us closely... hold us closely
Word up... yo... yo
A little bit of thugs is all it takes,
To make this industry just great
A little bit of thugs is all it takes,
To make this industry great
Here's to the closing door
Here's to just one more
Here's to all the damned
Here's to the bloodshed
Cant leave it alone, wont let me forget
Rip off the bandage, and tear out the stitch
Fed like a pig, off the shit in the dish
Shrouded in burlap left for dead in the ditch
So callous so cold, colors expose
The death of love as we know it
The death or trust in us let go
Chorus:
It's getting closer all the time.
I'm slipping farther all the time.
I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm feeling so weak inside.
I'm feeling better all the time. I'm slipping farther all the time.
It's getting harder all the time, feels like I'm losing my mind.
Tied to the tracks and cursing the name.
Whiteout the thought, stare blank in the rain.
Lethal and used, cast out and worthless.
Befriending the foes, deception commence.
So callous so cold, colors exposed.
The death of life as we know it.
The death of mirth in us let go
Chorus
Little pigs little pigs let me come in, not by the hair on your
chinny chin chin chin
Then I'll beat and I'll pound and I'll bash your fuckin brains in
Heres to the splintered door, heres to you no more
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
closer...

can't you see can't you see
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
Love, can you feel what I feel, I feel love, and it’s all I feel, I feel love, and it feels so real, it makes time go by,
But you think, that it’s over, and you feel that way, but it’s just so painful now, it’s nothing at all…
Maybe I’m right, but maybe I’m wrong, making it up as we go along,
Don’t run away! We’re just getting closer...
So long, we’ve been building a bridge for so long, it’s been fifteen years, it’s so long, but you’re still right here… by my side,
So to think, that it’s over, how to feel that way, we can work this out somehow, it’s nothing at all…
Maybe I’m right, but maybe I’m wrong, making it up as we go along,
Don’t run away! We’re just getting closer… Yeah!
They say love like this can never last, they say all those things that make us laugh,
It’s nothing at all, we’re just getting closer…
There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing wrong!
Its been far too long, its been far too long to let this slip away…
Maybe I’m right, but maybe im wrong, making it up as we go along,
Don’t run away! We’re just getting closer…
They say love like this can never last, they say all those things that make us laugh,
It's a lovely night
A beautiful evening
Time is slippin' away
It's getting late
You should be leaving
But I've got something to say
Please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all I want to do
We've been friends
Close companions
There's nothing to conceal
So I'm letting go
My little secret
To tell you how I feel
So please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all I want to do
So please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all
Oh please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all...
So please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
'Cause I'm so love with you
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
Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold, she took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of vein showing no mercy I do it again,
Open up your eye, you keep on crying baby, I?ll bleed you dry
Skies they blink at me, I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You shimmy shook my bone leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me? Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep?
Feel so good but I'm old, 2000 years of chasing's taking its toll
And it?s coming closer
And it?s coming closer
And it?s coming closer
Do you expect me?
To be or believe you?
Do you accept me?
When it's me you can see through?
Are you keeping safe distance?
Are you arms length away?
Are you keeping safe distance?
Holding me arms length away?
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
Do you expect me?
To keep from crawling back.
Do you accept me?
When we both know my past.
Am I keeping safe distance?
Pushing you arms length away?
Am I keeping safe distance?
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed.
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
I know you're out there somewhere.
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer to me.
Come closer.
Come closer.
Come closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
Are you out there somewhere?
Go where I can see.
What began as hope
Became the fate of many nations
Founded on a lie believed by everyone
Slandered and betrayed
A character assassination
Watch the guilty fade
Now the work is done
Ghosts of early days
Gather round the later rivals
All parade upon the earth to which they're bound
Silent in their course
They steal across the icy stations
Words are useless now
They fall upon the ground
One and the same, parallels remain
In air as in the flame
I can see everything get closer everyday
Hold on, when I'm dead and gone from you
Remember me as light breaking through
Stay strong, any time you feel you're lost
I will carry you back across
Call out, send the word from there to here
Promise you I'm always near
Know now, nothing anyone can say
Will keep me from you anyway
And in the end
When other days have passed you by
If beauty has a name
Waiting beneath the ruby sky
One and the same
Wanting to keep the pain away
In errors made again
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 Toughts 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

I was born with a penchant for sadness
Now I can finally speak of the madness
Oh you took from me my safety net
Killed my hopes and made me your pet
I'm closer than before
I believed it could only get better
But your ignorance loomed like the weather
Oh you made breathing a nasty chore
I ate your malice for ten years more
I was crushed in the vice of your sickness
Took the blows for your every weakness
Oh you forbade me to love my mom
Daddy begged me to keep things calm
Closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
All the fears of the babes lay upon me
Every word volunteered for my army
Oh sticks and stones thrown
Shattered my bones
I glued them back with rhythms and tones
Reaching out for the ones who could save me
Nervous pats on the head's all they gave me
Oh where were you all when I was jailed
I cried and pleaded, to no avail
Closer, getting closer than I was before
I'm closer,
Much closer than before
I stand before the fork
I look from left to right
I wait in partial pause
And choose to use my sight
I'm ready on my mark
My heart is beating drums
I make a run for it
I'm getting closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
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
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
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
I'm there in the bed with my wife
And she's looking for some room to sleep
And I'm there touching her shoulder
Hoping that maybe we could dream the same dream
I stare into space awake I lie
Wondering how close could get her and I
And closer, you see what I want is closer
Oh, I'm always there trying to get closer
Oh Closer oh closer than we've been before
Always trying to get closer
Cuz that's where I want to go sir
How can I say what I'm trying to say
Lonely for somebody who's an inch away
And closer, you see what I want is closer.
Now it's time to pick out a restaurant
And I'm still thinking about getting closer
A take out stand is often where I want to go sir
Cuz I really don't want that expensive kind
When how to get closer is what's on my mind
And closer, you see what I want is closer
Well now I'm always there thinking about closer
Oh Closer well closer than we've been before
Oh closer Cuz that's where I want to go sir
Oh yeah
And my wife is sleeping, for more she's striving
But I'm touching her cuz I'm always conniving
To get closer, you see what I want is closer
Oh yeah.
Meanwhile, back in the bed
I'm there snoring up a storm
And my wife is there lying next to me
And I'm there touching her arm
Now her leg and my leg are starting to intertwine
And that's good news for me because I'm always trying
To get closer you see what I want...
Well what I want is closer
What I want is to get closer
Oh than we've been before
Oh closer more and more
oh more and more.
Yeah I want more.
"Hey Wait, hey wait a minute Jonathan
now don't get excited."
Well but I am and I do and I never hide it!
And closer, mmm, what I want is to get...
Why do I hide from you?
Why do I play this game?
I tell myself to let go
I know I know I know
O I know
I hear the screaming dark
It's the misery of my doubt
Your love is selfish arms and still I can't get out
I realize there is a reason
Your truth has left me bleeding
You're closer than I'll ever be
Than I'll ever be
This body your will to hold
Basing on arms I know
Critical as he is
You make it warm so warm
I realize there are reasons
You truth has left me bleeding
Closer than I'll ever be
Is it that you want me
Or is it that you love me?
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
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
Yo, I write my own, but-uh who's writin' your rhymes
Oh you independent now 'cause 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 'cause 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
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
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
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
'Cause 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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
I woke up thirty three, not quite where I thought I'd be
Fell short of a lot of dreams and expectations that are put on me
A lot of those things I thought I'd need
Don't mean as much as I thought they'd mean
I sure got far away from where I'd say I'd be today
But I'm closer to right where I should have been
To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
And I'm even closer to the woman that I love, to my faith in God above
I'm still not sure exactly where it is I'm goin'
But I'm closer, little bit closer
Well, I guess at some point that switch turned off
And I stopped being the man I'm not
But counting on what I ain't got
And I found a faith somewhere I lost
And got closer to right where I should have been
To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
And I'm even closer to the family I left behind
And that world I'd thought I'd find
When I left it thinkin' there was something more
Yet I'm closer, closer
I woke up thirty three, not quite where I thought I'd be
Closer to right where I should have been
To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
And I'm even closer to the woman that I love, to my faith in God above
I'm still not sure exactly where it is I'm goin'
Beautiful are the words spoken to me
Beautiful is the one who is speaking
Come in close, come in close and speak
Come in close, come closer to me
the power of Your words
are filled with grace and mercy
Let them fall on my ears and break my stony heart
Come in close, come in close and speak
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
Don't be afraid, I'm not lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
Don't wait, I won't be lonely,
Closer closer to my life.
I've set it free, I feel the rain
Opens up my heart and washes away
Every single limit - time -
I start to breathe.
I'll leave it all behind, I'm on the way.
Don't be afraid, I'm not lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
Don't wait, I won't be lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
My mind's rolling like thunder,
I'm closer closer to my life.
I don't fear I'll go under,
I'm closer to my life, to my life.
I've set up sails I feel the wind
Opens up my mind and blows away
Every single reason to stay,
It's time to fly.
Don't you call my name. I'm on the way.
Don't be afraid, I'm not lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
Don't wait, I won't be lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
My mind's rolling like thunder,
I'm closer closer to my life.
I don't fear to go under,
I'm closer closer to my life.
Can you feel, can you feel it.
I can feel the silence.
I can feel the silence.
Don't be afraid, I'm not lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
Don't wait, I won't be lonely,
I'm closer closer to my life.
My mind's rolling like thunder,
I'm closer closer to my life.
I don't fear I'll go under,
Closer...
Every single reason to stay closer,
It's time to fly. Closer.
I said I've set it tonight.
It's time to fly.
Closer closer to my life.
Closer closer to my life.
I said I've set it tonight
(Closer closer to my life)
To my life
(Closer closer to my life)
So leave your taxi waiting
And turn and close my door
And sit back down where you were sitting
A little closer than before
And when you look that serious
It just makes me want you more
And I've been meaning to tell you
The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around
The closer you get, the better I feel
And yes I know you're nervous
Never seen you so unsure
You haven't touched your food tonight
And you're drinking more and more
And there's no need to hurry
Take your time I'll still be here
And I've been meaning to tell you
The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around, the better I feel
The closer you get, the better you see
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around
The closer you get, the better I feel
The better I feel, the better I feel
We've been circling for time baby
We're coming down to land tonight
The wait is over and now it's easy
Everything is fine
The closer you get, the better I feel
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around, the better I feel
The closer you get, the better you see
The closer you are, the more I see
Why everyone says, that I look happier
When you're around, the closer you get
(Susana Feat. Omnia & The Blizzard)
A sea of sound fields all so near
I know my way inside is clear
Strong connection, balance
The answers wave me from the stars
A fleeing burdens so profound
Are carried by this waves of sound
Touch the agony in me
Then bring me here the melody
When I’m in here, I feel I’m closer
Nothing left but peace inside my heart
All I ever was, all I’ll ever be
When you’re near, I feel I’m closer
When I’m in here, I feel I’m closer
Nothing left but peace inside my heart
All I ever was, all I’ll ever be
When you’re near, I feel I’m closer
When I’m in here, I feel I’m closer
Nothing left but peace inside my heart
All I ever was, all I’ll ever be
Things change, yet so much stays the same
Life's just a dream we have of reality
Love's strength enhances what we have
And then it strips us of our sanity
Still I stay growing strong
Every day closer to you
It's strange but 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, yeah, closer to you
Closer to you
Memories cloud our minds
Invadin' too much time
We build our very own cages
Blames of no significance
In love, it's of no relevance, to life this very moment
I'm trying every day to live each moment new
And free my heart [Incomprehensible]
So I stay growing strong
Every day closer to you
Closer to you
Still I stay growing strong
Every day closer to you
Give me the brush,
the paint, the night,
and I'll romance
the stars up in the sky.
Give me the frown,
the pain, the knife,
and I'll surrender to
the sadness in my eyes.
I know, the road is frightening,
just say you'll hold on tight.
We're getting closer and closer
to find our meaning,
a reason to live.
Deep within you
are colors that would break
a thousand words.
Give me your doubt,
your fear, your strain,
and I'll reveal what
words can never say.
In every stroke and
every line
I'll leave a trail of memories
for you to find.
This road is dark and frightening,
There's somethin' I wanted to know
Can we get closer? Yeah, baby
Seems like I've waited to know
Can we get closer?
Girl you should come up for the week
I'll make you cum from the tub to the sink
Rubbin' your feet in a luxury suit
Make sure you come with nothin' on just a long shearlin'
And I'ma make ya toes curl up like they are earlin'
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 tremblin'
And pull ya hair 'til it's straight, you'll look half Indian
Laughing, giggling with champagne bubbles tickle ya nose
Before you I wouldn't throw my old nickels at hoe's
I'm just glad we can get close, for breakfast in the mornin'
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 like a champion strong, for real
Your still bumpin' and grindin' even after the song but all along I, I
There's somethin' I wanted to know
Can we get closer? Yeah, baby
Seems like I've waited to know
Can we get closer?
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 doin' swell girl, ya never doin' poorly
Ya know I'm hoppin' in whips just look at the jewelry
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 thinkin' we should get close
There's somethin' I wanted to know
Can we get closer? Yeah, baby
Seems like I've waited to know
Can we get closer?
A lot of cats have tried it
I like to touch the na na, I
I know u act real shy but
Know you get down
You are 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 tonight
I'll make you cry
Touch you inside baby, I
Make you get down
Hold you very close
With or without clothes
Public or closed doors
We will get closer, yeah
There's somethin' I wanted to know
Can we get closer? Yeah, baby
Seems like I've waited to know
Can we get closer?
There's somethin' I wanted to know
Can we get closer? Yeah, baby
Seems like I've waited to know
Closer... so close baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There we were, tenth grade in the hallways
I must admit you were the finest thing in all ways
Every day I used to walk you to class, do you remember that?
We used to make each other laugh and had each others back
We had the same birthdays and shared the same dreams
You used to love when I treated you for ice cream
Saturdays, we would meet up at the movies
It was you, your little sister, and your home girl Lucy
I used to trip when you would always be with me
Cause your mom would get mad when I would send you home with hickies
And if she ever caught me around the house
You'd be grounded for a month without a phone to call out
Now, thats okay, we would meet up at the benches
See it was all good when I didn't have detention
And if I didn't mention we were friends from the start
There was nothing in the way that ever keep us apart
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You're still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you're on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
I wont forget the day when you went off to college
You had big dreams and you were out to seek the knowledge
I had a record deal, we started doing shows
And you wouldn't even trip when girls would pull on my clothes
We saved our money and bought a house up out the neighborhood
And now we're happy here together and it's all good
Inbetween the sheets covered up real close
And making love is what you love doing real most
You said you wanted one kid, I said I wanted two
A boy and girl, and that would equal me and you
Sharing dreams while caught up in this moonlight
I never argued and never once caused a fight
Respect was the main key to our relation
Going on trips and spending three week vacations
We lived it up like real lovers were supposed to do
Now come here lady, I wanna get close to you
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You're still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you're on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
It's been a long twenty years now and we got plenty more
And ain't no telling what the future has for us in store
A couple more kids or maybe even grandchildren
See little ODM's growing up making millions
Making us proud while our name will live on forever
Same club, one mind, it'll come together
Remaining strong, as strong as our familia
Mi amor, mi corazon, y mi vida
After all these years and after all these tears
The memory of you still shines
After all these years and after all these tears
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
won't you be the new one burn to shine
i take the blue ones every time
walk me down your broken line
Looking for a colour in a shade of grey
Looking for love in a drop of rain
Trying to find change from the old mundane
Everything I do just feels the same
Spending my life out in the desert
Been gone so long feels like forever
I just want to be even closer to you
I just want to be even closer
I am yours
You can have all of me, anything, everything
I just want to be even closer
(Closer, closer)
A day without you is a thousand years
A day without you is a million tears
Tell me why do I run when I am in fear?
Why do I run when you are so near?
Been spending my life out in the weather
Been gone so long and I need some shelter
I just want to be even closer to you
I just want to be even closer
I am yours
You can have all of me, anything, everything
I just want to be even closer
Wherever you go
Wherever you are
I just want to be there with you
I just want to be closer to you
I just want to be closer
I am yours
You can have all of me, anything, everything
I just want to be even closer
(x2)
(Closer, closer)
Looking for a colour in a shade of grey
Cross my heart and hope to die
If I should ever let myself
Be used again
As an instrument of my destruction
It's like tearing apart
It's breaking my heart
For you to see this side of me
The things I try to my best to keep inside
Promises may get broken
But there's one thing that I know
I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again
Lost my mind
Somewhere between the drive home
And the key that turns my peace to rage
You're somewhere caught in my contention
As I push you away
Though I want you to stay and see a different side of me
I'm screaming
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again
I don't want complication
Don't need this separation
No communication
When there's something wrong
Here I am
Come closer take my hand
I won't let nothing come between us
I promise
I promise
I'm screaming
I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Oh joe
Yes baby
It feels so good
Right here baby
Yeah god
Don't stop, don't stop, baby
Come a little closer
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Come on girl, get a little closer
I want you, you want me
Can't control myself
Girl, you look so good
Smell like roses
Like I knew you would
The time has come
We waited oh so long
Let's quench this fire
That's been burning strong
I need your love baby
Girl, I need it bad
We'll take things slowly
We won't go fast
Let's let our bodies
Touching each other
Until the morning comes
Girl, you know I want you baby
I want you to learn, to be right by my side
I can't wait no longer
Closer to my dreams
Coming over me
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 here
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 all 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 moving higher, oh
(Higher)
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 I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
(Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
Some times it feels like you never gon' change
(Never gon' change)

"Gotta get the cash gotta get the doe" -Puff Daddy 'Makin' Moves With Puff'
Noreaga:
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
Singing:
If you don't know (if you don't know)
Knowlegde is what makes thugs grow
Just stay on point cause you reep what you sew
Noreaga:
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
Arab natzi 2-5-2 we regluate this what
Hook:
Said I wanna be closer to this paper (get close)
Ooooh get closer to these ends
"Gotta get the cash gotta get the doe"
Closer to this paper get closer to this paper (hella dope baby)
Get closer to these ends
"Gotta get the cash gotta get the doe"
Noreaga:
Yo I remember when we first did it
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
What
I wanna be closer, to you
[Yung Ro:]
What's up homie you know me, one of many with smile face
Still complaining about this life, full of pain with a small plate
But I understand your plan, and you the man
And now that I'm hurt, I desperately need to hold your hand
Cause over the years this pain, has made our relationship much stronger
I'm patient and much stronger, but still facing this bad karma
For real it's too real, you see these vibes I'm getting
Mistreated by my own blood, you hear these lies I'm getting
But these guys forgive em, me too cause I am sinning
Trying to find peace in places, the devil disguised and hidden
I'm drowning in my own sin, realizing my pain
Losing faith losing love, all flushed down the drain
What can I do to maintain, I tried my girl and family
Find myself alone in tears, dear God how can it be
Or can it be all for a reason, because we just need you
Well if so then so it be, and let them see the message too
[talking:]
Close, close I gotta get close
You gotta keep a piece of mind, I know I do
I ain't perfect
[Yung Ro:]
Dear God I'm scarred, I'm trying it's hard
You right it's easy, I'm close it's far
It's dark I'm cold, I'm wrong I know
I'm trying I'm dying, I'm crying my soul
Is searching for forgiveness, I'm trying to do better
I can't sleep it's sic o'clock, and I'm writing you this letter
Show my people I love em, because they breaking my heart
Show me a sign, should we work it out or just stay apart
I just wanna play a part, in your righteous path
I can't drive this car alone, because I might just crash
They say I take things too serious, I'm taking that serious
And God to be serious, I think I am too serious
But you made me who I am, and Yung Ro proud
I don't know I don't know, what's beyond them clouds
But I do know love, and I thought that through you
But sometimes I give up, and I don't know what to do
[talking:]
I was just thinking, relationships
No desire, how close you is to that person
Now I messed up, anyway
[Yung Ro:]
Dear God my baby's hurting, I don't know what to do
So I sent a prayer out to her, guide her ship and help her through
Help us make it through this pain, I wanna learn this lesson
I felt the love was so real, but it just wasn't destined
A lot of questions lot of guessing, as I start to look back
We made a lot of mistakes, and ended up where we at
But that's that, and truthfully I wish I could take it back
Do something different try harder, anything but that
But that plus that, made me realize that
And when I saw it face to face, I had to swallow that fact
I learned a lot from that what's that, that's nobody's bidness
Just know I'm truthfully sorry, and ask for your forgiveness
And God as my witness, I'm a very troubled man
Thought I was right I wasn't, thought I did didn't understand
But one thing I do know, if it was meant to be
We'll get closer than maybe not, who knows we'll see
[talking:]
Yeah close, I ain't gave up
I ain't gon worry myself though
Lastly, God I'm gon get closer bet that
You are now with the world's greatest
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)
I don't want to give you up
I don't want to hold you up
I don't want ambiguous
I just know that I've had enough
I want you to travel with me
Let it loose and let your mind go free
Show you things that you've never seen
But you just got to go with me, oh
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible
For something you that can't find, ooh
Your loving is so good, so good, the closer
I want it, I want it into me
I want it, I want it, leave it here
I want it, I want it
I want to get closer to you, baby
Experience
I want it, I want it, generous
Lay down what's impeding you
'Cause I wanna get closer to you, baby
I don't want to give you up
I'm tired of the pull and push
I'm tired of the making love
Don't you feel like you've had enough?
I want you to journey with me
Explore all the innocence
I don't mind us to build tension
But we've got to move in the same direction, oh
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible
For something you that can't find
Ooh, your loving is so good, so good, the closer
I want it, I want it into me
I want it, I want it, leave it here
I want it, I want it
I want to get closer to you baby
Experience
I want it, I want it, generous
Lay down what's impeding you
'Cause I, I want to get closer to you, baby
I wanna, I wanna get
Wanna, I wanna get closer
Oh, you just got to go with me, oh
Your love is so good that I want to show you
Don't make me responsible
For something you that can't find
Ooh, your loving is so good, so good, the closer
I want it, I want it into me
I want it, I want it, leave it here
I want it, I want it
I wanna get close to you baby
Experience
I want it, I want it, generous
Lay closer
I want it, I want it closer
I wanna get close, I wanna, I wanna get close
I wanna, I wanna get close, closer
I wanna get close, oh yeah, baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
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
You want me to surrender
You want to win it all
It's ok I'll take the fall
Within your eyes I wander
Within your smile I hide
From the lonely world outside
Fears run heavy
Tears run from my eyes into my hands they burn
I will wait here
I will wait for your return
Tonight
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
I wanted to remember
You wanted to deceive
When you asked me to believe
Beneath the sea of anger
We float within the calm
Waiting for the siren song
Fears run heavy
Tears run from my eyes into my hands they burn
I will wait here
I will wait for your return
Tonight
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
Do you feel
Do you feel same (x2)
Oh baby do you feel the same
Or is it really over
Do you want to stay
Dressed to kill an audience
like you had an audience
don't think you found an audience with me
cause i lay every card on the table
strip the band from its label
i can understand if you're scared of me
and if you're scared you probably should be
getting closer to you
closer to you than god
stripped away from the world
closer to me
tell me just how it feels
to be ripped away from yourself
so detached from the world
closer to me
now both hands behind your back
let me give you a heart attack
don't be scared, i'll bring you back down to me
trust me, i might seem a little dangerous
just because i don't give a f...
of what anyone thinks of me
and if you're scared you probably should be
getting closer to you
closer to you than god
stripped away from the world
closer to me
tell me just how it feels
to be ripped away from yourself
so detached from the world
closer to me
i wont lie to you, i like it
i like it obsessively close
like when it feels like pain to me
it feels like pain to me
let me make sure that you're safe
and then i'll pull you closer to me
getting closer to you
closer to you than god
stripped away from the world
but i think i like it
tell me just how it feels
to be ripped away from yourself
so detached from the world

You're clowning around down on the ground
Two left feet, bright red toupee
There must be something wrong with me
I'm falling for you but you're a freak... freak!
I wanna get Closer
I want you Closer to me
I'm gonna be a star on Broadway
You're a chain saw juggling man
I know fine wines, filet mignon
You like eating out of the can
There must be something wrong with me
I think I love you but you're a freak... freak!
I wanna get Closer
Close to you is where I wanna be
I want you Closer to me, I want to get
I wanna get Closer
Close to you is where I wanna be
I want you Closer to me
I wanna get Closer, I wanna get Closer
I wanna get Closer, I wanna get Closer
I wanna get Closer, I wanna get Closer
The border of a dream and reality
I'm walking the streets of deserted city -
the place-which Spirit has already left
figures around me, they cannot see
My way – your's ( all goes against the nature)
My way – your's ( all goes against the nature)
No family , no love, no friends and no feelings
the message for me ,one message to believe it
it's not a place to look for the sense
the less you ask the less you feel the pain
My way – your's (all goes against the nature)
My way – your's (all goes against the nature)
I feel I'm nowhere , nowhere
could I dream ?
daydream is closer
easier to believe
„ you see all of this when you close your eyes , but
with eyes wide open it’s just a bunch of lies
–how do you think :is there any way to understand all
of this/it , to avoid all of this/it , to disillusion ,
to fight and win ?„

MY WAY
CLOSER
Closer
than the others
closer
closer than a brother
Be not afraid
look not around you
don't get spooked
Closer
closer than the others
He stands closer
closer than the others
Closer than your own
breath
quicker than the hands
of death
closer
Closer
closer than a brother
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
your eyes
your smile
when I'm with you
it drives me wild
your voice it sounds so sweet
you call my name
it makes me weak
I'm scared it won't stay strong
oh I'm scared it won't stay long
baby you're my heart, you're my soul
and i gotta let you know
I said baby when I'm with you I feel alright
and I've tried to make sure
your feel, your touch

Noreaga:
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
Singing:
If you don't know (if you don't know)
Knowlegde is what makes thugs grow
Just stay on point cause you reep what you sew
Noreaga:
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
Arab natzi 2-5-2 we regluate this what
Hook:

Noreaga:
Yo I remember when we first did it
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

She sits by his side
On vinyl seats
Her thighs are stickin'
It's hot, it could be July
This Texas heat
Will start you thinkin'
By and by
I'm gettin' closer to it
So drive down 35
To Mexico
Get there by mornin'
And leave this town behind
Their little minds
Will teach us nothin'
By and by
I'm gettin' closer to this
Well, by and by
I'm gettin' closer to this
And extraordinary visions in your head
Let them overtake you
Technicolor dreams might scare you
But life is much too ordinary, yeah
Yeah, I'm gettin' closer
Yeah, I'm gettin' closer
Yeah, I'm gettin' closer
Well, by and by
I'm gettin' closer to this

Humanity lies in bed
And we wait for the world to change
Ya we wait for the world to change
A miracle waits in rest
But we're too young to realize it
So we ask a simple question
So show us that we need You
Even if it starts to make us cry
Please don't give up, show us the truth
Even if we try to run and hide
Cause we need You closer
Cause I need you closer
So take all I am, start again, bring me in
Cause I need You
Cause I need You closer
We're old enough so we know the game
And that miracle never came
Or it was different then expected
We turn around and we curse His name
They convince us that our God is dead
And it's His fault that we lost Him
So show us that we need You
Even if it starts to make us cry
Please don't give up, show us the truth
Even if we try to run and hide
Cause we need You closer
Cause I need you closer
So take all I am, start again, bring me in
Cause I need You
Cause I need You closer
We wait to think about it again
When we hit rock bottom
Ya I hit rock bottom
Cause we need You closer
Cause I need you closer
So take all I am, start again, bring me in
Cause I need You
Cause I need You closer
So take all I am, start again, bring me in
Cause I need You
I think I caught your fever
I felt it right away
I had the urge to tell you
But I still shied away
And since you never told me
Then how was I to know
That you felt like me to the third degree
And 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

Closer
Come a little closer
Why don't you leave the light on
And it's a nice day
to leave you again
And it's time to
break out and be young
It would be nicer of you to go
Walk away, come again
Walk away, come again
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come a little closer
Why don't you leave the light on
And it's a nice day
to leave you again
And it's time to
break out and be young
It would be nicer of you to go
And I wanted everybody to be closer
But the words came out all wrong and I'm just lonely
Walk away, come again
Walk away, come again
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
And it's so damn hard
And it's a waste of my time
It's so damn hard
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 [x4]
Turn off the lights in this place
And she shines just 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
(Come closer)
Come closer
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get, the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
(Closer)
She says, "Come closer"
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Come closer [x4]
I just can't stop, no
I just can't stop, no
(Just can't stop, no)
I just can't stop, no
(Just can't stop, no)
I just can't stop, no
No, no, no, no
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(Said I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(Said I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
(Bring myself)
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(And I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell, I can't break
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
(I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Closer
Come a little closer
Lend an ear to my secretive, whispering, quiet word
Closer
Still a little closer
What i tell you must in no case go unheard
Delicate, delicate
Clandestine, devoted, forbidden sense
Intimate, intimate
Mysterious, mutual confidence
Closer
Just a little closer
Don't worry, there's no danger, no offence
Closer
Still a little closer
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
I cannot tell
Can you tell?
Oh I can't tell
Am I lonely or do I need to be alone?
Tonight, this fight
Between my head and my heart
Its getting heavy now
So I'm just, just begging
Just begging for a breakdown
Sometime real soon
Cause I don't know what else is there left to do?
It's like we just can't win
And everytime we get a little closer
It all caves in
And I just don't know
How do we know?
How do we know when to stop?
Baby don't stop, baby don't stop no
Cause we don't even know
Where to begin
You ask the questions but you aren't listening
So my heart gets heavy with every letter that I write
I can't deny we're losing it
I've got no answers tonight
It's like we just can't win
And everytime we get a little closer
It all caves in
It's like we just can't win
It's like we just can't win
It's like we just can't win
It's like we just can't win
It's like we just can't win
And everytime we get a little closer
It all caves in
It's like we just can't win
We both know we'll never
Floetic, Floacism, Flo'Ology
It's Floetry, and Whyteleaf
We're moving closer
Just a little bit
Little bit,
Little bit,
Little bit,
Can I get a little bit closer?
I want to get
Closer
Yeah, oh yeah
(So near)
Yet you're so far away
(I can't)
Tell you enough how much boy
(I want)
To love you baby
(I want)
To know you baby
(You hear)
Hear me talkin' to ya baby
(Don't wanna)
Fight the feeling that I'm feeling
(Give me)
A chance to get
Just a little bit closer
(Oh yeah)
Amazing
I rise this occasion is life
And I'm debating
If I wanna be your girl or your wife
I'm understanding how your landings got me feeling a vibe
You're in my lungs, I'm feeling strung
So now I'm chasing a high
You're in my system
I'm in your wisdom
I am your partner
You are the father
You're the beginning
And I'm the after
I hear the universe
Pulling us closer
Just a little bit
(Right there)
Said it's easy baby
(Okay)
Just free me baby
(You hold)
A special something over me
(Oh yeah)
And I like that baby
(Oh yeah)
Said you got me baby
(So good)
Don't stop it baby
(You're givin)
Us the chance to get
A little bit closer
(Oh yeah)
So familiar
The situations linear
It's obvious I'm into ya,
I know you know I'm into ya
I know you know I'm what you were
Just never ever looking for
I'm what you call impossible
Or you could say a miracle
I'm in your system
You're in my wisdom
You are my partner
I am the mother
I'm the beginning
And you're the after
You hear the universe
Pulling us closer
Just a little bit
So good it feels
How good it feels
So good it feels
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
Now when did our life begin?
The ocean keeps rolling in
The night is oh so dark
And that dog will howl and bark
And your face is oh so stark
The ocean is creeping in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
My heart is caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Now another long year has passed
And I don't know how long we'll last
I can hear your distant laughs
And the ocean keeps rolling in
And the sun seems oh so clear
I can hear it's hiss and sneer
My stomach it starts to burn
Oh God let's hope we learn
The ocean is creeping in
With every and every sin
My hearts still caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Stay with me
It's hard to breathe
Lay with me
Please don't leave now
Close your eyes
Don't miss a beat now
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
Now when did our life begin?
The ocean keeps rolling in
The night is oh so dark
And that dog will howl and bark
And your face is oh so stark
The ocean is creeping in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
My heart is caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Now another long year has passed
And I don't know how long we'll last
I can hear your distant laughs
And the ocean keeps rolling in
And the sun seems oh so clear
I can hear it's hiss and sneer
My stomach it starts to burn
Oh God let's hope we learn
The ocean is creeping in
With every and every sin
My hearts still caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Stay with me
It's hard to breathe
Lay with me
Please don't leave now
Close your eyes
Don't miss a beat now
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
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
(McNeal/Jay G/Papalexis/Larossi/Benn/Yacoub)
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...
"We wrote this one at a time in my life when I was touring
pretty much nonstop. It's about not taking your loved one for
granted. It was meant to be a traditional ballad with strings
and the works, but the crew added some jungle beats and
We're holding on
Our hope stands strong
And I can't deny these feelings
‘Cause they're all that I have in me
I said I'm waiting on a chance
And now, our hearts are racing
For the road that lies ahead
We'll chase this dream tonight
‘Cause it will always be alive
Give me a reason to quit trying
I'll tell you why
Giving up is not an option
This is far from over
We're years from done
‘Cause we still believe
And we still agree
Giving up is not an option
We will make it
A risk worth taking
We're taking control
Let's live for the moment
We'll chase this dream tonight
‘Cause it will always be alive
Give me a reason to quit trying
I'll tell you why
Giving up is not an option
This is far from over
We're years from done
‘Cause we still believe
And we still agree
Giving up is not an option
We're getting closer
I can't deny these feelings
‘Cause they're all that I have in me
As long as I am breathing
Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me bleedin'
cause I need more now than a fairy tale,
a god who lives in a book.
I need someone real.
So would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?
Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me on my knees,
cause I need more now than philosophy.
Some god in outer space doesn't mean anything to me.
So would you come?
Would you come?
If I begged you, would you come closer to me now?
Would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?
Son of David, do not pass me by,
cause I am naked,
I'm poor and I'm blind.
Son of david, don't pass me by,
cause I am naked,
[Verse I:]
Show me how to be more like you
Show me how to be stronger in a world so cruel
Show me how to be more faithful in what I don’t know
And how to trust and how to lean on you Lord
You said
[B-Setion:]
If I be lifted up from the earth
I will draw all men unto me
[Chorus:]
Can I get closer to You
Can I get closer and personal too
I need to know how to live more in the likeness of You
Can I get closer – Closer to you Lord
[Verse 2:]
Show me how to think more like I should
Show me how to choose between what’s bad and good
Show me how to be more prayerful and available
So I can hear you when you talk to me Lord
[Vamp:]
Draw me nearer to you Jesus
You’re my sword and shield
Draw me closer than a brother
It's just a few more weeks 'til I'll be
Holding you in my arms, baby
The rising cost of gasoline and long-distance calls, put miles between us
We saw the stars come out that evening
And sail across the sky on kite strings
Some talk about the future and the plans we have
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon
'Cause I just wanna be closer to you
I promise that I mean every word
More than I thought I ever could
Calling you each night just to hear your voice
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon
'Cause I just wanna be closer...
And I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer to you
And I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer to you
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon
I wouldn't come any closer
I couldn't help it if I tried
Was I buildin' up my defenses
For the sake of foolish pride
Doesn't mean that I don't want to
It doesn't mean that I'm afraid
Don't you know I never forgot you
Since we've gone our separate ways
Gone our separate ways, ways
So tell me do you remember
The summer where we lay
You're callin' out inside my head
Over an over, an over, an over, an over
An over again, again, over an over again, again
So now you're here and I am callin' out your name
I've never thought that I would have this chance
Have this chance again, again
Now you're here again, again
I wouldn't come any 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.
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

Don't have to sail around the world to see
'Cause every time I lift my heart to praise You
There You are right next to me
You're closer closer than a brother
No longer so far away
Jesus now I can touch You
I feel You in my heart
Every time I start to give You praise
I feel You getting closer
Closer
Don't have to do a bunch of things to please You
Don't have to play no religious games
Don't need a special prayer for You to hear me
All I have to do is just mention Your name
I was a stranger to Your mercy
When I cried Lord You heard me
You took away my sin
Then You let me in
You took away my sin
You're closer
Closer than a brother
No longer so far away
Jesus now I can touch You
I feel You in my heart
Every time I start to give You praise

One smile, this is the moment
We’ve all been waiting for, ooh
[repeat Refrain and Chorus]
[repeat Chorus]
Ooohh ohh oooh
Laid up listening to some slow jam joints
Wanna go But I don't
I maintain and remain boss about it
Phone rings but it ain't u it's my folks
And they say yo what's up for tonight
With the club and now I am
Now I'm all off in the party
And I'm dancing and I'm drinking
And I'm thinking how I
I wish it were you
Cause you blow me out
Now I'm all of in the party
And the party ain't jumping

To let you know what's up
Foreal

Out here on my own
Need to get closer to you
Laid up watching nick at night
Wanna go

Phone rings but it ain't u
It's my homeboy
And he says yo what's up
For tonight wanna take a ride
And now I'm all off in his car
And we are riding music banging
And I'm thinking how I
Wish it were you
Cause u blow me out
Now I'm all up in his car and
I'm smiling but I'm frontin
I wish I had the nerve to let u in my world

Out here on my own
Need to get closer to you
I want to be near you
Awww help me
Don't you hear me calling
I need to be near you
Awww help me
Daddy don't you hear me
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.
Girl come a little closer
To fill this gap in between us
Relax just let me hold you
So no one tears us apart baby
The whole entire world's gonna be jealous
And it ain't no purpose
That's just how my love is
So open up your mind yeah
That's your night and feed that love desire
() x2
Girl come closer
And I'm never gonna let you go
I'll make you mine for life darling
And I'ma love you so the whole world knows
It's my first close encounter
And I've never met nothing like you before
I felt so fortunate
To have this authentic romance
And our love is God's desire
So that means nothing can stop it
And until we reach the heavens baby
I'm going to keep loving you more and more
() x2
Girl come closer
And I'm never gonna let you go
I'll make you mine for life darling
And I'ma love you so the whole world knows
Don't let your fear get in the way
It only kills what was built with the bricks
Don't let nothing come between us but
Opportunity and space
In order for two of us to become one
We have to get a little bit closer
And they spell the hesitation
‘Cause nothing makes better than us
() x2
Girl come closer
And I'm never gonna let you go
I'll make you mine for life darling
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.
You say i'm stuck somewhere back in between
My blured memories
Some say I kicked myself right in the face
I'm not as I seem.
I'd erase what you say
Scramble words in the way
But you can't take away
Turn away
Run away
Fuck with me
Don't say that its over
I'd kill to be closer
A moment i'm passing to you
But to me
I will wait
And i'll take
Anything with your name
Don't say that its over
You can't live without me
You say theres something wrong in my head
So I like to bleed
You say i'm scaring you now but i'm tired
From watching you sleep
I'd erase what you say
Scramble words in the way
But you can't take away
Turn away
Run away
Fuck with me
Don't say that it's over
I'd kill to be closer
A moment i'm passing to you
But to me
I will wait
And ill take
Anything with your name
Don't say that its over
You can't live without me
Live without me
Live without me
But you can't take away
Turn away
Run away
Fuck with me
Don't say that it's over
Don't say that it's over
I'd kill to be closer
Dont say that it's over
I'd kill to be closer
A moment im passing to you
But to me
I will wait
And i'll take
Anything with your name
Dont say that its over
You cant live without me
(Don't say that its over)
You cant live without me
(Don't say that its over)
You cant live without me
(Don't say that its over)
I'd kill to be closer
I'd kill to be closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer.
I would like to see you in another way.
Friendship is fine.
But passion's got to have it's day,
for you and I.
I've been abiding my time.
Warming up to your heart.
At last, I've broken the ice.
Soon our emotions will provide the common ground,
then it's all about the loving, baby.
I'm and I gettin' (closer).
Closer to your lovin' (closer).
Ooh, that's right (closer).
Closer to the lovin', baby (closer).
I, I get this feeling then there's something real taking over me.
Ii know you think that you should call and make me want to deal.
I'm well aware of distraction,
the emotion,
the tug of war
hey girl, between sex and love.
Although I may fear rejection,
I yearn for our connection.
And I bettin' my bottom dollar baby,
We're gettin' (closer).
Closer to the lovin' (closer).
You and I, that's right (closer).
Closer to the lovin' oh ooh (closer).
I like it when you're next to me baby.
I can be good to you baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ain't nothin wrong if love is right, c'mon.
That's what you feel, my love is real, so c'mon, c'mon.
Got to get closer to your sweet love.
Oh little girl, I long for your tender kiss.
I got to get next to you.
I'm here when your ready.
Girl, you won't regret it.
We ought to be making love.
And you know the time is right for love.
C'mon girl let's get just a little bit closer, yeah (closer).
Closer to the lovin' (closer).
That's right (closer).
Said it's all about the lovin' (closer)
Give it to me baby, hey (closer).

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Close, closer.
Ooh, baby.
Tease me, baby (closer).
Closer to your lovin' (closer).
Feels so right just you and me tonight (closer).
Ya know it’s been awhile now
Since you’ve been in California
And you know how much I miss you anyway
Been meaning to reach you
just to ask how life’s been treating you
And I’m sorry that it’s taken so long
I can hardly wait
Chorus
And I’m closer than you know
But I feel like the distance still shows
Still I’m closer than you know
Can I just drop by to say hello
Verse 2
I’d never be the first to say
I miss you and I need you
But it’s always in the back of my mind
The road to you is calling
Leave all regrets at the station
And I’ll meet you at the corner of our lives
I can hardly wait
Well I've been thinking about what I said
No baby, no need to talk about it
Well I've been playing it back in my head
No thanks, think I'll get by without it
Well I've been thinking about what I said
No baby, no need to talk about it
Well I've been rollin' around in your bed
No thanks, think I'll get by without it
You can't explain why you're feeling alone
Falling asleep to a dial tone
You dream about the trouble you're in
Then you pray that something fits
I wanna say that we're getting closer every day
You know you can't stop when you're racing the clock, c'mon
This heart's a bomb and we're setting it off, alright
They're handing me the numbers and figures, yeah
Try and calculate the ways I've been jaded
Nothing adds up so I end up frustrated
I'm giving up on love it's so overrated
You hear the knock, will you open the door?
You try and fight, but its hard to ignore
You fall apart; spill your heart on the floor
I think its time that we settled the score
Well the moment will come when youre all alone
I wanna steal your mind,
For just a little while
Why don't you play with mine
Darlin' don't you know, I won't
Be happy 'till your closer
Yeah cause I wanna take you away
'Cause I'm woohoo
Everytime I touch you
And I'm woohoo
Everytime I think about you
I'm woohoo
Everytime you say that you're mine
Oh I just wanna feel you
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
I wonder if I'm alive
Was it just a dream
Oh, when your lips touch mine
You hit me with a spark,
My heart was stolen in the dark
And now I can't sleep
'Till I have you here
'Cause I'm woohoo
Everytime I touch you
And I'm woohoo
Everytime I think about you
I'm woohoo
Everytime you say that you're mine
Oh I just wanna feel you
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
I'll be your man
I'll be the only one to touch you
I'll be your lover
I'll be always thinking of you
I want you closer to hold you
And say your all mine
I wanna take you away
Yeah
[Instrumental break]
'Cause I'm woohoo
Everytime I touch you
And I'm woohoo
Everytime I think about you
I'm woohoo
Everytime you say that you're mine
[Oh I just wanna feel you]
A spark, my heart,
Was stolen in the dark
You know, I won't
Be happy 'till I have you
Closer, closer
Oh until I have you
Two in the morning, Im heading home
Wish it was evening, Id start it again
In your apartment with no view
We talk like strangers with no clues
We always hurt each other
Looks like were fighting a war
Chorus:
Were alive tonight
Save our soul save our lives
This is the best day out
Feel the weight of my love
Feel my arms around your heart
I need you tonight
We can talk all night
Ill say the things I should have said when theres nothing but time to waste
Now theres not enough time to say
(And) I wont take for granted the people I love
Just breathe in the moment
Just breathe in the love
Chorus:
Chorus 2:
Crashing down ocean size Im on your side
Wrapped in heaven where you belong
I have to get closer to you (x2)
Chorus:
Youre going home
As I close your eyes
Youre going home
[MF Doom]
Physically, mentally, spiritually not nowadays
Madvillain get more spins than the power plays
These hens served them a tower of praise
Wet more Timb's than agua from shower sprays
First dropper to the last
The same way the super got hits for that ass
Put so much heat out on the street
He lock his self up and put the beat on repeat
Stamp here go a kite to the world
It's more nasty than what you write your so called girl
Tramp a spade is a spade
Spit blades like V playing with grenades
He say these black negro's is crazy
Hey these wack trees don't even phase me
Part of a new way
Chrome face 24/7 stay screw face
Play home base
You'll never come closer to where they want to be
Soldiers in the out field
With or with out a deal
Is it all about the steal
You'll never come closer to where they want to be
Ask yourself the same question
Don't mention it to him or any of his henchmen
this flows style in exceptionally
it grows wild and splits exponentially
[Quasimoto]
MF DOOM, QUAS high like sky scrappers
Quasimoto gettin more ass than toilet paper
Astro Black on attack you up on the bozack
Know smarts
Lightweight
Ya bald head like Cojack
[Madlib]
Kinda like a wild cat out of his habitat
Tryin to grab the door mat
Close to the combat
[Quasimoto]
Like willie the Shake
Holdin a black cross
Ya hat toss
[Madlib]
Ya'll niggaz on some skinny dip
[Quasimoto]
Looking at his henny sip
Look at little pretty chicks
Sucka's tryin to penny flip
niggaz looping any shit
[Quasimoto]
Yo, yo
What's the password, curse word, last word
It be the fat serve, mass nerve, black bird
You'll never come closer to where they want to be
Quasimoto down with Madvillian
All up on our shit while ya'll nigga's all be killin
You'll never come closer to where they want to be
[Quasimoto]
Always on the up and up
Chocolate heat for beat
Ya sucka's always fuckin up
Never fake
No Flake
Upon flake
Cake
Yeah lets not even bother,
this was trouble from the start.
Lets play it cool,
keep it all inside
Yeah yeah.
Let wrap this up,
kill the conversation
oh you can blame this all on me.
Scream my name,
at the top of your lungs.
Coz I'm letting you know,
this is my final plan.
Scream my name,
at the top of your lungs,
coz I'm letting you know,
this is my final plan.
It's not like I could be right about this oh,
the words flying out your mouth
are terrible, oh so terrible
compromise, it was time to turn around.
It was time to turn around woah .
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I see a pretty face walk up to me,
while we're sitting in the back seat of your car.
You don't know anything,
I don't wanna know what you got to say.
I see a pretty face walk up to me,
we can be one if only for tonight,
you don't know anything.
Woah, woah.
Woah, woah.
I will always come back for you,
I will always come back.
I see her pretty face walk up to me,
I don't ever wanna be that guy again,
I just don't know what I can do.
A thousand stars don't mean a thousand years,
a thousand miles won't take away your thousand smiles,
I'll always come back for you, forever, and ever, and ever.
I will always come back for you,
You painted me lines,
before I even knew you had them there.
I had to see this,
I had to see this for myself.
I made the rules,
and this is how it ends,
The smoke has cleared,
and what can you say?
What can you say?
Maybe when I'm done with this song,
You'll be gone, or maybe you'll be into it.
The smoke has cleared,
and this is it,
What can you see, Chicago was just way too far for me.
7 Hours kept me wide awake for a month,
and kept my mind rolling on and on,
Like the train you caught from Chicago,
To Texas, to see me.
You had me going,
showing me things you thought,
Id wanna see.
This is going at breakneck speeds
and I'm sobering up to a cup half empty,
and a pack half full.
I must admit I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
I like the way you feel
I must admit I don't like the way you lie.
who would go for a liar?
not me, yeah.
So I don't wanna hear,
whatever else you say.
All you need to know,
is that I'm alive.
Lets give up on what we tried so hard to keep.
This is what I want oh common common.
Common common this is what you want,
lets live to make mistakes.
Common common this is what I want
yeah this is what I want,
and this is what I'll get,
coz this is what I wanted oh common
I've got an angel in my ear,
and I've got the devil in the other one.
A thousand houses where i don't belong
But the warm lights look like honey way out here
There's a wind in the branches
And i know this song
But the moon's a judge you cannot persuade
So i try and tell myself i had to go
She'd have missed me more if i had stayed
Such a blue and flawless night
Just don't seem right without you near
I would give you my ring and everything just to hear
Closer, come closer to me
I told her how i spell my name
But she pretended not to know
It begins with spring and ends in rain
Now when i sleep i hear you breathe
It comes from all directions in my dreams
Thought i'd close my eyes and make you leave
Pass your house wonder what went wrong
The warm lights look like heaven from out here
Is there any truth in any of us?
Well I've got a message for,
so walk with me
so walk with me.
But please leave your regret at the door,
lock it up, close it up, and don't look back.
From here on in this is the moment we've been waiting for,
I've been waiting for.
We don't want anyone to see what we are going through.
You can face up.
We don't want anyone to see who we really are,
you can face up, you can tell the truth.
You cant undo anything you've already done,
but you can tell the truth oh.
Is there any truth in any of us?
Well I've got a message for,
so walk with me
so walk with me.
But please leave your regret at the door,
lock it up, close it up, and don't look back.
Don't look back
don't look back, for me.
oh don't
don't look back,
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.
I used to sit in silence,
I wish I spoke my mind.
I got home just in time,
to realise you weren't the one worth saving at all.
You were the one to scared.
You were the one to scared.
To say the things worth saying.
Theres a city stuck inside my head,
and I'm letting go of it.
At least I'm trying,
it's so responsive oh.
You're city, was the perfect place.
It's getting dark now.
And I'm afraid you're thinking less of me,
and I'm still afraid you're thinking less of me.
are you up for this or what?
I'm talking to myself,
and no ones listening.
I watched you crying till the sun went down.
But I still had to say goodbye.
Somethings we cannot control,
you must hate the words you've said.
But I bet your hoping,
I regret.
Somethings we cannot control,
you must hate the words you've said.
Oh you know who you are,
you're the cold,
you're the lonely little girl.
I said every time I feel like things are ok,
you make your way, back into my life, oh you do.
Oh and I'm learning that's all you have to give,
or offer me, and I'm telling you.
It don't feel so good, oh no.
I'm talking to myself,
and everyone is listening.
I wouldn't change a thing for you,
I walk and I talk,
and I cross the line.
I gotta remember what is mine.
I fake and I take what I can get,
I take advantage and I regret, I regret.
Oh God I messed this up so bad,
I dunno how to see this through,
but thats exactly what I do.
I'm only lying to myself,
I'll always mess this up for you,
but thats exactly what I do.
I drink and I sway right into bed,
you're on my mind and I regret,
I've lost my head.
I sleep and I dream of her instead,
a sweetness I will never forget,
cant forget.
I'm walking away again.
I walk and I talk and I cross the line,
but I'll dream of her tonight,
You're falling fast,
I'll make this last,
I'm everything you ever wanted,
I'm everything you wanted just but more.
You'll take the pain,
I've got no shame.
I'm everything you always hoped for,
everything you hoped for just but,
everything you hoped for just but more.
You're chase is worth the kill,
but you're face ain't worth my time.
My face is worth your thrill,
but your kill ain't worth my shine.
You take the bait,
I'll make you wait.
I'm everything you always wanted,
everything you wanted just.
You wanna stay,
you love my sway.
Everything you hoped for just but,
I'm on the other side of the world
and it's taken me so long to write this down.
I should've always known you were broken on the inside,
I guess I just wanted to see you one more time.
Everyday seems like,
everynight feels like,
there's a black cloud inside my head.
I've been holding on for way to long,
holding on, holding on.
That's been, ever so inviting,
it's been, ever so inviting.
No one ever stopped to ask me,
but I'll tell.
I don't know when I'll be well again.
Holding on to a feeling,
for too long,
I said you dunno what the heck is going on tonight,
You said I'm outta my mind, way over my head.
We breakup, we break down, we drink up, we fool around,
We breakup, we break down, we drink up and, get it on.
All I ever want is to be right next to you,
but everytime it falls apart coz
crashing cars and breaking hearts is what we've been about from the start.
So we're standing here right now,
and nothings being said.
Do you wanna stick around,
or rather leave instead.
I said you don't know,
Oh your lips should've never touched,
your bodies should've never met but,
what's done is done, and its done,
Tell yourself that.
Everything, everything is gonna be alright.
Don't keep trying,
coz I'll never be your perfect lullaby,
maybe just in your dreams,
One day you'll get what you deserve,
at least I hope so.
So you'll finally know exactly what you're worth,
Tell yourself that.
Everything, everything is gonna be alright.
Don't keep trying,
coz I'll never be your perfect lullaby,
maybe just in your dreams.
You may have been the anchor,
but I was the whole damn ship,
and we both know, I can get back to shore without you.
Put the pain that you have in the back of your mind
Wait, I wanna wipe away all the tears in your eyes
Cause I got that rhythm in the moves that'll make you hot
I'm the only one that gets your heart to stop
Please believe me, that you're the only one I want
But everytime I get closer, you push me away
I don't get it
You said you want me closer to you
And every line I step over, you tell me to wait another minute
You sure don't make this easy to do
Maybe you need to get a little bit closer to me
Why are you crying about the bad times in the past
Try to take the good that you got and make it last
Cause you got that rhythm in the moves that'll make me hot
You're the only one that gets my heart to stop
Please believe me, that you're the only one I want
But everytime I get closer, you push me away
I don't get it
You said you want me closer to you
And every line I step over, you tell me to wait another minute
You sure don't make this easy to do
Maybe you need to get a little bit closer
Closer to me
And everytime I get closer, you push me away
I don't get it
You said you want me closer to you
And every line I step over, you tell me to wait another minute
You sure don't make this easy to do
Maybe you need to get a little bit closer to me
I can tell by the words,
By the words that you write me,
That it's been a while,
Since you've thought about me.
And I really don't mind,
The way you pass your time
I just want you as I seem to recall
You were the prom queen, right there in front of me
And still out of my reach, now after all these years
You thought about me.
I, I just want you, want you
Close, wrapped around me
It's what I want the most
Now you found me, I want you close
Closer now, where I'm free
Closer now, closer since the words you wrote
What does this all mean?
Unknown territory, something surreal
Just a little bit scary
There's really no need,
So let's take it slowly
I, I just want you
Do you know the way to love?
Givin' too much out,
Have you got it in you?
Is there any left for us?
Do you know the way to love?
I do, I do, I do
I, I still want you,
Close, wrapped around me
It's what I want the most
Now you found me, I want you close
Closer now, where I'm free
Closer now, closer since the words you wrote
Mi must help me feel [?]
Closer to mi is where me want you
[x2]
Do you know the way to love?
Givin' too much out,
Have you got it in you?
Is there any left for us?
Do you know the way to love?
I do, I do, I do
I just want you
Close, wrapped around me
It's what I want the most
Now you found me, I want you close
Closer now, where I'm free
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
Stories are told as we speak
Are we missing the best part of everything
The words you speak will
Motivate me
With a will that's stronger
Than the strongest of men
With a righteous purpose
For striving forward
Comfort security the only constant
In my life
Closer than I have ever felt before
Now I'm stronger
Than yesterday
Someone that keeps me
That keeps me moving forward still
Everything comes down to our passion
For each other
The will to stand
Everything falls to our passion
For each other
We have our inspiration
Let this be my
Will this be my
Let this be my
Guiding star
The greatest of men
Is the man
May I have your attention
This information is hard to ignore
And it goes without question
That I make love to it to make you enjoy
These everyday complications
Are being further and further away
This is my invitation
You'll be the last to hear me say
What would it take to bring you closer, closer?
Something tells me, we need to get closer, closer
So come on take me, nothing less
Such a strange situation
Crossing borders and boundaries sometimes
Then with the right combination
You need to run to feel alright
What would it take to bring you closer, closer?
Something tells me, we need to get closer, closer
So come on take me, nothing less
Get it out just for what it's worth
But first mark my words, I get shown good [Incomprehensible]
Finding out, I [Incomprehensible]since birth, talking circles
Over and over, over and over
That's what it takes to bring you closer, closer
Something tells me, we need to get closer, closer
Forever's gonna bore you to death
That's a phrase I found in my head
But is it worth another look
That's a line I want in a book
Still I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer If love is the only thing
Then a kiss becomes poison without it
So can't I just let it in
These books are confusing without it
Still I wanna get closer
Yea I wanna get closer
Should you be mine
Should you be mine
Should you be mine
Should you be mine
Can I put one sound instead
Of all the lines that run in my head
Can't you give me just one look
And write my name down in your book
Trying to approach the site
Where loves incarnation lies
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
It's a sorry borrowed line
But would you be mine
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
Still I wanna get closer
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
It's a sorry borrowed line
But would you be mine
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
It's a sorry borrowed line
But would you be mine
Would you be mine
Would you be mine
I'm not yours if we're not right
What started out as desire turned into a lover's tryst
Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this
Now you need something to taste
something just a little bit more sweet
But I am sour and more sour
Everytime that our lips meet
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then your a spark
Just begging to ignite
You'll wish you never met me
(Butterfly) Butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more
The skeletons are laughing at me
Through the closet door
And now past lovers share these covers
Sleeping with my enemies
Thoughts of others come between us
Trigger fits of jealousy
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then your a spark
Just begging to ignite
You're wishing you never met me
(Butterfly) Butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
You can paint me pretty colors
And dress me how you like
I'm just an ugly moth in love
In a butterfly disquise
And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met
If I don't get close when it's all over I'll just forget
'Cause I have seen the end so many times I've played it in my mind
And I am scared to death I never want to see your dark side
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then your a spark
Just begging to ignite
You're wishing you never met me
(Butterfly) Butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Will you stay awake tonight?
Just to travel the starlit sky
Cover me with the veil of moonlight
Keep me warm within your heart
My cruel parade in Paradise
Left no angels – left no angels for her eyes
A child walks in narrow lines
Keeps three worlds – keeps three worlds sealed in her mind
Getting closer every time her marble tears fall from the sky
Fall from the sky!!
Angels decay – flowers whither every time I dream of you
(In) Pagan lands where south is hidden sands of time will cover you.
Getting closer every time her reign of wrath falls from the sky.
Angels decay… when I dream of you
Closer…
Closer…
All my life
Lets fly tonight - Dead in every pale moonlight
Lets fly tonight – ride the wings of time
When I need your help
Show me the way to come to you
Don't leave me hanging
All I want is to come closer
A little closer to you lord
That's where I get my reward
The thought of you
Makes me new
Just bring me closer
A little closer to you
All alone makes me fee
Lonely in the beautiful night
Your love your help your strength
All I want is to come closer
[Chorus]
Lord show me the way
Lord help me this day
Lord lead me through
I went out in the street for a walk in the night
Had to loosen my head, it's been wound too tight
I've been standing on the edge after picking a fight with you
Sometimes my world seems so damn small
I can't think of nothing 'cept for me at all
And my thoughts surround me like a prison wall, it's true
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
It takes all my strength to slow myself down
My thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound
Sometimes I wish there was no one around but you
Oh, tell me you know what I'm talking about
Sometimes you're the sail like confusion and doubt
And then it hurts so bad, you just wanna shout, "I'm through"
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
Please forgive these things I might've said
You see they come from my frustration, not my head
And the last thing that I wanna do
Is create a distance between me and you
I wanna get closer to you now
I gotta get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I gotta get closer to you now
Well, there seem to be two states of mind
One is visionary, the other blind
And the best that we can hope to find
Is to meet somewhere in between
Well, the night air has pulled me back a bit
Just when I was about to quit, trying to get a candle lit
That lets me see what can't be seen
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
I gotta get closer to you now
I wanna get closer to you now
Best when you're yourself
Better still in someone else
Best to compromise
Better still to pick a side
But I still do find you there, closer than before
Don't stop tomorrow brings me near than before
Who says we can't be blamed for this
My feelings lost and I can't wait that long
for the warning signs we ignore
And I do feel we played a part in this,
my worries cast and I can't linger long
You've heard it countless times before
Fearless, what does it take to get you this far?
CLOSER
(G. Ignacio / B.Tangkeko)
I remember the day we met
And the sun was about to set
I often think about you day and night
How time flies by
Now there's light.
REFRAIN
I remember the moment
I fell in love with you
You told me (You/You'll) feel
The same way too.
CHORUS
To be closer to you (closer to you)
(That's/Is) all I want to do
To be closer to you
And feel the same way too.
BRIDGE
I am hoping and I always pray
That God won't take you away.
All the love letters and "I love you's"
Won't mean a thing if it wasn't from you
I wish that we could be together again
Right this moment until the end.
[REPEAT REFRAIN, CHORUS & BRIDGE]

open up my lips so that i can speak your praises
open up my lips so that i can speak your praises
open up my lips so that i can speak your praises
Hashem S'fatai Tiftach U'fi Yagid Te'hilatecha
When I look in your eyes I believe every time
and all that i know will reflect in my life
I was told long ago when I was just child
there's a place you will go
in the ground in the sky
and the road goes on forever
and every place leads back to start
with every step were getting closer
learning to fly
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
And the weight of the world starts bringing you down
and you come up for air
do your best not to drown
when the worlds that I've known
start sinking like stone
there's a place i can go in the plan in that sun
and the road goes on forever
and every path leads back to you
with every step we're getting closer
learning to fly
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you
The fire in my eyes should bring you down, but you say good night for the thousandth time. Clock above my head flashes three A.M, but you say it’s time for you to leave again, again.
Do you not want me? Don’t leave me like this. My skin aches for your touch stays on me, our bodies get closer every time, and I’m left with your taste on my mind, taste, taste on my mind. You’re on my
Mind if I set the scene, of when you leave me curled on the floor, next to the clothes you just ripped off. You bring me this far how can you leave, like this? Like this.
Do you not want me? Don’t leave me like this. My skin aches for your touch stays on me, our bodies get closer every time, and I’m left with your taste on my mind, taste, taste on my mind. You’re on my mind.
I’m lying on the floor, at the point I thought was no return, your hand over my mouth, I wanna scream, I wanna scream, scream.
Mind if I add one thing, you look at me like I need more than you want to give to me, it’s you that’s wrong, I only want one thing, one thing.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Closer to me, use your body, hypnotize me,
The way you move controls me [x2]
[Chorus:]
She makes my body weak, oh yeah baby,
When she's around, I can hardly speak,
Oh what she does to me, oh lord oh
[Verse:]
Oh the things she, does, the way she, moves,
The things she says to me, drives me, up, oh
Up the, wall, and makes me, so crazy. now I'm,
Here, and she is, there, staring just, at me. all
I, want to tell this, girl. is come close to me
[Chorus x2]
[Verse]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus x2]
The way she moves is like slow motion from a
Movie scene. she's coming cross the room and
Soon she will be next. she touched. she's got
Me. And I just cannot get enough.
Light a candle by my window
So you see I'm home
Do you ever stop outside my window
If you do then I'm watching the candle too
If you do then I'm watching it too
We are watching the same thing
All over
And all ready
I feel closer
Watching the same thing all over
All ready
I feel closer
And all ready
I feel young and all
Ready
I feel stronger
Close... notes rhythm and rhyme
It's all in my mind but what isn't
Put a painting by my window
So you see I've grown
I've learned to paint the world as I like as you told
Put a painting by my window
So you see I've grown
I've grown from a girl to a woman
I've grown
Attached to the wood by my window
Attached to the wood by my window
And we're watching the same thing
All over
And all ready
I feel closer
watching the same thing all over
And all ready
I feel
And all ready
I feel
And all ready
I feel closer
Close... notes rhythm and rhyme
It's all in my mind but what isn't
It's all in my mind but what isn't
It's all in my mind but what isn't
Close... notes rhythm and rhyme
Sweetheart behind the mirror you hide
I'll try to find you from the inside
You strike a chord and it resonates my heart
And it sings it sets the world alight
Oh yeah
I can't see in the dark
But I'm sure I'm getting closer
Racing the landslide
You and me we grow together
Calm this ride
Time won't pass us by
You can't be blamed for caring too much
Or for growing shy
You close your eyes and you dream of the time
You've fallen in love
Racing the landslide
You and me we grow together
Calm this ride
Time won't pass us by
And if I had your touch I could laugh about it
Just to assure me that this is real
If I had your touch I could laugh about it
Just to assure me that this is real
Racing the landslide
You and me we grow together
Calm this ride
Time won't pass us by
I can't see in the dark
But I'm sure I'm getting closer
I can't see in the dark

Come inside my mind there is something you should see.
Pick up the telephone and hear my distant plea.
If I start dancing, you can join me with your soul.
I want to you feel you near, don't leave me on my own.
Closer, closer. Get closer next to me. (Get a bit
closer, babe.)
Closer, closer. Get closer, come closer so I can see
Hey, Mr. Shadow, wont you break this down [?] (uh huh)

That scratch is making me itch and I can't slow down.

Everything goin' to slow mow.
Fra, fra, Fresh, fre, Fresh, fra, fra, Fresh, fre,
Fresh.
Everything goin' to slow mow.
Fra, fra, Fresh, fre, Fresh.
Never closer, then I've ever felt to you.
Did I ever caught your eye.
Stand a bit closer then you ever stood before.
I'm your moon and you're my sky.
Closer, closer. Get closer next to me. (Get a bit
closer, babe)
Closer, closer. Get closer, come closer so I can see.
Can't you see, my head is spinning round and round,
we're underground.
Let's fly away, spend night and day just wasting time.
If you don't mind.
Closer, closer. Get closer next to me (Get a bit
closer, babe)
Not too much i have to steal
bringing my best with me nothing to conceal
thought of the renovation
make sure that i'm showing my appreciation
futures wide open
wide open
wide open
She brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
she brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
Not much left to be revealed
she made this poor man rich
the freshness that she gives
this is something new
wish you'd feel the same way too
futures wide open
wide open
wide open
She brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
she brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
If you feel the same way too
Not too much i have to steal
bringing my best with me nothing to conceal
thought of the renovation
make sure that i'm showing my appreciation
futures wide open
She brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
she brings me
a little bit closer
a little bit closer to heaven
she brings me
she brings me
she brings me
she brings me
It's been so long
still I can't help believing
now you're gone
something stays within me
I need the one
like that sunshine come to God [...]
I'm never gonna stop, oh no
I'm going on and on and on
until I find some piece of mine
I keep on searching for you
till all I want
and all I need, oh yeah
Now I'm thinking maybe, I was stoned
I felt my feet lifted off the ground
And my heart was screaming
And my bones
I need you closer
As in the middle of the street
Then I pretend he is mine to keep
Cars are running fast on both sides
of his head, his eyes say
Closer closer closer
I met him when the sun was down
The bar was closed
We both have had no sleep
My face beneath the street lamp
it reveals what it is lonely people seek
Closer closer closer
And I am close enough to lose
Close to the point, where you know that your mind, it can not choose
Close enough to lose.
Close enough
I wanna be closer, to you
(Da Assassin)
What's up homie you know me, one of many with smile faces
Still complaining about this life, full of pain with a small plate
But I understand your plan, you the woman
And now that I'm hurt, I desperately need to hold your hand
Cause over the years this pain, has made our relationship much stronger
I'm patient and much stronger, but still facing this bad karma
For real it's too real, you see these vibes I'm getting
Mistreated by my own blood, you hear these lies I'm getting
But these guys forgive em, me too cause I am sinning
Trying to find peace in places, the devil disguised and hidden
I'm drowning in my own sin, realizing my pain
Losing faith losing love, all flushed down the drain
What can I do to maintain, I tried my friends and family
Find myself alone in tears, dear God how can it be
Or can it bell all for a reason, because I just need you
Well if so then so it be, and let them see the message too
(talking)
Close, close I gotta get close
You gotta keep a piece of mind, I know I do
I ain't perfect
(Da Assassin)
Dear God I'm scarred, I'm trying it's hard
Your right it's easy, I'm close it's far
It's dark I'm cold, I'm wrong I know
I'm trying I'm dying, I'm crying my soul
I'm searching for forgivness, I'm trying to do better
I can't sleep it's six o'clock, and I'm writing you this letter
Show my people I love em, because they breaking my heart
Show me a sign, should we work it out or just stay apart
I just wanna play apart, in your righteous path
I can't drive this car alone, because I might just crash
They say I take things too serious, I'm taking that serious
And God to be serious, I think I'm too serious
But you made me who I am, and Da Assassin proud
I don't know I don't know, what's beyond them clouds
But I do know love, and I thought I thought that through you
But sometimes I give out, and I don't know what to do
(talking)
I was just thinking, relationships
No desire, how close you is to that person
Now I messed up anyway
(Da Assassin)
Dear God my baby's hurting, I don't know what to do
So I sent a prayer out to her, guide her ship and help her through
Help us makeit through this pain, I wanna learn this lesson
I felt the love was so real, but it just wasn't destined
A lot of questions lot of mistakes, and ended up where we at
But that's that, and truthfully I wish i could take it back
Do something different try harder, anything but that
But that plus that, made me realize that
And when I saw it face to face, I had to swallow that fact
I learned alot from that what's that, That's nobody's bidness
Just know I'm truthfully sorry, and ask for your forgiveness
And God as my witness, I'm a very troubled man
Thought I was right I wasn't, thought I did didn't understand
But one thing I do know, if it was meant to be
We'll get closer than maybe not, who knows we'll see
(talking)
Yeah close, I ain't gave up
I ain't gon worry myself though
Lastly, Girl I'm a get close bet that
You are now with the world's greatest
Closer...so close baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There we were, tenth grade in the hallways
I must admit you were the finest thing in all ways
Every day I used to walk you to class, do you remember that?
We used to make each other laugh and had each others back
We had the same birthdays and shared the same dreams
You used to love when I treated you for ice cream
Saturdays, we would meet up at the movies
It was you, your little sister, and your home girl Lucy
I used to trip when you would always be with me
Cause your mom would get mad when I would send you home with hickies
And if she ever caught me around the house
You’d be grounded for a month without a phone to call out
Now, thats okay, we would meet up at the benches
See it was all good when I didn’t have detention
And if I didn’t mention we were friends from the start
There was nothing in the way that ever keep us apart
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
I wont forget the day when you went off to college
You had big dreams and you were out to seek the knowledge
I had a record deal, we started doing shows
And you wouldn’t even trip when girls would pull on my clothes
We saved our money and bought a house up out the neighborhood
And now we’re happy here together and it’s all good
Inbetween the sheets covered up real close
And making love is what you love doing real most
You said you wanted one kid, I said I wanted two
A boy and girl, and that would equal me and you
Sharing dreams while caught up in this moonlight
I never argued and never once caused a fight
Respect was the main key to our relation
Going on trips and spending three week vacations
We lived it up like real lovers were supposed to do
Now come here lady, I wanna get close to you
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
It’s been a long twenty years now and we got plenty more
And ain’t no telling what the future has for us in store
A couple more kids or maybe even grandchildren
See little ODM’s growing up making millions
Making us proud while our name will live on forever
Same club, one mind, it’ll come together
Remaining strong, as strong as our familia
Mi amor, mi corazon, y mi vida
After all these years and after all these tears
The memory of you still shines
After all these years and after all these tears
I just wanna be closer (alright)
Just a little closer (that's fine)
Why can't I feel?
And all the signs that stand in our way
Just lead to the highway
Sayin' it's not time
For you and me
And yes I know what's right and what's wrong
Fool to myself that I can move on, oh yeah
And little girls, they never can see
Skin's not as thick as they'd like it to be, oh yeah
And the moon rise and the sun still sets
Don't forget your heart here
Don't forget
And the moon rise and the sun still sets
But don't forget your heart here
Don't forget
Don't forget
No, no, no
I just needed a brother (somebody by my side)
Or maybe some other (somebody by my side)
My heart was too blind to tell (my heart was too blind)
Oh (my heart was too blind)
Send your postcard, writing letters (writing you everyday)
Feeling no better (writing you everyday)
May as well just send myself (just send myself away)
Feeling teenage feelings straight through my bones
Two months go by and I'm left alone, oh yeah
Writing lines, it's better this way
Maybe true, but it don't make is easy to say
And the moon rise and the sun still sets
And don't forget your heart here
Don't forget
And the moon rise and the sun still sets
But don't forget your heart here
Don't forget your heart here
Don't forget your heart here
Moonrise, sunset
Moonrise, sunset
Moonrise, sunset
Moonrise, sunset
Moonrise, sunset
Moonrise, sunset
I’m the face of you,
I’m the son that you refused
Cause you were somewhere else
My mother always saw me through
But In her death, I’m left with you, and I’m still by
myself
If I could be somebody else, would I be closer to you
now?
My dreams have always got me through,
But in your eyes they’ll only prove to be worthless yes?
I wish that I could talk to you
And say the things you never knew
About my stubborn foolish pride
Feels like you've been asleep for days
The televisions on, I can't stand it
We all fall down again
And when your friends leave
All they get gone
It's sucha pet peive
When you prove me wrong
We all fall down
and we all fall down
I need to get back to Tempe
It's been 2 years since I've been there before
Back down to the streets that we meet
The ones that keep me away from Glendale
Oh, oh, oh
Open up your eyes and let me in
I've swore to god i'd never swear again
we all fall down
[Verse 1: Black Cobain]
As we present to you the present
The presence so in essence
And it's a chilly world
So I just give them my confessions on the road
The road to riches, you gon' meet some phony bitches
Intimate with hurt and kisses
Oh I think she just don't get it
I-I-I I get it though, Laguna beach is indigo
Sticking to the script of life
Trying to reach my pinnacle
You would think I took a laxative the way I'm shitting
There's a target I am hitting
Ain't got time for your retention
I hope you fuckers listen
Yeah I had a pot to piss in
You're an 8
My pretty girls be 10s
But you ain't get it
Old friends
Coming back around
Keep em at a distance
Play em 50
Nothing more or nothing less until they clip me
Believe it I am Ripley
My Hugo Euro fit me
I be drinking on Ciroc like I don't care about my
kidney
Lord forgive me
When life hands you lemons I make Simply
Put your motherfuckin' hands up if you hear me
[Hook: Black Cobain]
In the side mirror of my car
That's where my dreams are
They closer than they appear
They seem so really far
I'm only what they make me
Only what they make me
They gone love me
They gone hate me
As long as they don't break me
[Verse 2: Black Cobain]
And we so photogenic
Just snap it when it's candid
And this is Staples easy
Ain't got time for living frantic
No I'm praying, mantis
Defend me at my worst nigga
That's word to Edwin Stanton
This is tainted love, I'm Manson
Marylin, If it's any truth then I'm Sojouner then
I swear these niggas rookies at it
Basically they Derwin in the streets talk, they yappin
They ask me why I'm rappin'
Cause Virginia never seen a nigga rockin' high in
fashion
Wait...
[Bridge: Black Cobain]
Lemme take my time with it uhh...
You know, get my thoughts together
Make y'all wait for it
Red Berry Ciroc, that's my favorite drink
Shout out to my nigga Moe man
I said fashion, right?
Alright let me get it, Uh
[Verse 3: Black Cobain]
I'm talkin' paparazzi flashin'
The bitch is a distraction
And if you talkin' fly nigga, you talkin' to the
captain
The hood is not the same
They antonyms is snitchin'
So disregard the kitchen til my hustlers still up in it
I put that on my father
I put that on my family
And it's a hard knock life, but nobody hearing Annie,
uhhh
They think it's sweet just like my auntie kool-aid
They coffee I ain't sleepin baby, where's my creme
brulee?
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.
If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?
So long without you
So long without you
Walking down the street
In a seconds' beat
I can shift from emptiness
To bursting at the seams
Someone passes by
Sad, familiar eyes
And I'm spilling on your answering machine
Wish we were closer
Need to be closer
If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?
So long without you
So long without you
What if you were here?
Would it change a thing?
We might drift for hours through familiar wanderings
Then needing time along
Time to know our own
Caught up in this puzzlebox
The paradox of need
Need to be closer
Need to be closer
If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?
Here I am a broken man
Wasted youth on a selfish plan
I'm reaching out, falling on my knees
I can hear you calling me
Closer, Draw Closer
Fell so low, now I know
Reap the fruit of what I sown
Seek and find, peace of mind
Leave the old life far behind
What I'll be, now I see
Life that lies in front of me
Calm my fears, dry my tears
I can feel You near
Here I am a humbled man
Trying to do the best I can
So many years that I could not see
Now I feel You drawing me

Everybody's talking about Jesse James
The way he lived and the way he died
But in love, even crime can draw a tighter bind
This is the story of Bonnie and Clyde
In his life, Clyde dreamed of the perfect lover
Until one day his prayers came true
Drawn together like a bow and arrow,
Enter Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Passion levels all that it encounters
Like a drug, it needs no rhyme or reason
Blood was spilt and lives were torn asunder
Clyde and Bonnie filled the land with wonder
Fantasies of years they'd spend together,
Shattered by a politician's pledge
Always one step before the gallows
A lust for crime that wouldn't let them rest
Headlines scream
POLICEMAN DEAD IN DALLAS
The long arm of the law was not amused
Brighter shades of love were turning darker
Curtains for Barrow and Bonnie Parker
The thrill is gone and panic takes it's place
Hope is growing dimmer by the hour
Flashes of light against the black
Carefully take aim and then attack-tack-tack
The final flickers of a dangerous life
Clyde sees the blood run from his dying wife
Bonnie breathes her last breath in despair
A vision of the corpse of Clyde Barrow
They laid them in the ground before the morning came
To stay together till the end of time
No coffin, no headstone and no marker
The end for Barrow and Bonnie Parker
Closer to the edge these days,
Staring out across the oasis.
I feel the sand beneath my feet,
I hear the wind, it screams at me.
Closer to letting go,
I’m far away from the life I’ve known.
The fog is gone and I can clearly see
Just how far down the fog will be.
But I’m not afraid to fly
And my arms are open wide,
‘cause you know better than I do,
I’m flying over, getting closer to you.
Older than I’ve ever been,
We’re young enough to start again.
I face this world I’m living in,
All afraid, today’s the day I shed my skin.
‘cause I’m not afraid to fly
And my arms are open wide,
And you know better than I do
I’m flying over, getting closer to you.
We’ll rise against the smaller things
And lose ourselves and live like kings at heart.
Gravity can’t hold me down,
I feel my feet lift off the ground.
I’m not afraid to fly
My arms are open wide,
And you know better and now I know better, too

I was born with a penchant for sadness
Now I can finally speak of the madness
Oh you took from me my safety net
Killed my hopes and made me your pet
I'm closer than before
I believed it could only get better
But your ignorance loomed like the weather
Oh you made breathing a nasty chore
I ate your malice for ten years more
I was crushed in the vice of your sickness
Took the blows for your every weakness
Oh you forbade me to love my mom
Daddy begged me to keep things calm
Closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
All the fears of the babes lay upon me
Every word volunteered for my army
Oh sticks and stones thrown
Shattered my bones
I glued them back with rhythms and tones
Reaching out for the ones who could save me
Nervous pats on the head's all they gave me
Oh where were you all when I was jailed
I cried and pleaded, to no avail
Closer, getting closer than I was before
I'm closer,
Much closer than before
I stand before the fork
I look from left to right
I wait in partial pause
And choose to use my sight
I'm ready on my mark
My heart is beating drums
I make a run for it
I'm getting closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
They have calculated outcomes
We just pray the numbers lied
It s all calm here on the surface
But a war rages inside
And she lays still tonight
She lays still tonight
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I m tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
We can fire back
Another plan of attack
Something to put the scales
In our favor again
We re expecting less
We just allow the glass
To drain empty through the
Cracks in the bottom
And wash away (away [away])
Don t wash away tonight
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I m tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyed
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I'm tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
This is life
And I am passing through
But this world has been caught lying
About what it is I m here to do
This is life (this is my life)
Its mine to waste or use
But its time that I decided
Its time for me to choose
Cuz who am I (this is my life)
You would die to prove
That the worthless are all worth it (this is my life)
The curse has been removed
This is life (this is my life)
All though I m passing through
I wanna live as if I m dying
Dying to get close to you
This is life
And you would die to prove
That the worthless are all worth it
The curse has been removed
This is life (this is my life)
And I am passing through
I wanna live as if I m dying
Dying to get close to you
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 Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer
Wake up, it's getting deeper
But I can't blink again
Just seems so tragic in the end
I jump back into the same thing
Couldn't be more obvious
There's no use in trying to pretend
(Chorus)
I would give anything to get you closer
To get you closer to me
I could give everything to get you closer
To bring you closer to me
Back up, I'm getting too close
But I can't think again
Just seems so blurry in the end
I jump back into the same thing
Couldn't be more obvious
There's no use in trying to pretend
(Chorus)
I would give anything to get you closer
To get you closer to me
I could give everything to get you closer
To bring you closer to me
(Bridge)
You put the sunshine in my eyes
(Am I getting through?)
You look away to not go blind
(I'm losing you)
(Chorus)
I would give anything to get you closer
To get you closer to me
I could give everything to get you closer
You want me to surrender
You want to win it all
It's ok I'll take the fall
Within your eyes I wander
Within your smile I hide
From the lonely world outside
Fears run heavy
Tears run from my eyes into my hands they burn
I will wait here
I will wait for your return
Tonight
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
I wanted to remember
You wanted to deceive
When you asked me to believe
Beneath the sea of anger
We float within the calm
Waiting for the siren song
Fears run heavy
Tears run from my eyes into my hands they burn
I will wait here
I will wait for your return
Tonight
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
So come closer now I've got to let you know
You are the one I can't let go
Do you feel
Do you feel same (x2)
Oh baby do you feel the same
Or is it really over
Do you want to stay
You've been so distant
And I need your visit
Do ya, do ya wanna get with me (2x)
Cause I'm getting older
And now that you're over
Do you think you could trust me
To get a little bit closer
*Closer, you're closer to me now*
Your steamy lips and
Your sticky tongue and
Do ya, do ya wanna get with me(2x)
I'm gonna lean you over
Undress your shoulders
Notify the others
Tell them that it's over
(repeat *)
And when we sleep
You're getting closer
I feel your feet
They're creeping closer
No time to eat
Cause I want you closer
No time to sleep
You're getting closer
Verse One
Met this chick the other day
And I knew that she was into me
So I asked her secretly
Are you coming, are you coming?
But she acted so confused
Like she didn't know what to do
So I asked her one more time
Are you coming, are you coming home?
Pre Chorus
Play the field and you'll see that I've got all you could need
You'll never find someone as good as me
And I know if you try that I'm gonna be that guy
And there's no way that you'll disagree
Chorus
And I like the things you do
Cause you know I'm feelin' you
It's like a rollercoaster
Each day we're a little closer
And I like how you play the game
Cause I know you feel the same
Over and over
We get a little closer
Verse Two
Now we've spent a little time
She's the first thing on my mind
And I'm gonna make her mine
Are you coming, are you coming?
Said she wants to take it slow
But she'll go where I wanna go
Week or two, I just don't know
Are you coming, are you coming home?
Pre Chorus
Play the field and you'll see that I've got all you could need
You'll never find someone as good as me
And I know if you try that I'm gonna be that guy
And there's no way that you'll disagree
Chorus
And I like the things you do
Cause you know I'm feelin' you
It's like a rollercoaster
Each day we're a little closer
And I like how you play the game
Cause I know you feel the same
Over and over
We get a little closer
Bridge
And now she says it's time
She leans in and says that I
Can do whatever's on my mind
Our bodies move a little closer
And it's like a fantasy
All the things she does to me
She says she's here to please
And now I feel we're so much closer
Chorus
And I like the things you do
Cause you know I'm feelin' you
It's like a rollercoaster
Each day we're a little closer
And I like how you play the game
Cause I know you feel the same
Over and over
We get a little closer
Outro
Now we're a little closer
W-we're a little closer
Her clothes were thrown all over
And we're a little closer
Chorus
And I like the things you do
Cause you know I'm feelin' you
It's like a rollercoaster
Each day we're a little closer
And I like how you play the game
Cause I know you feel the same
Over and over
Come close
Close to me so I can kiss you and wrap my hands
My hands around your body
When you're gone I really
Really miss you
Here we are
Rock
Rocking slowly
Come close
Close to me so I can reach you and paint you
Paint you a story
When you're gone I really
Really miss you
Here we are
Rock
Rocking slowly
Come close
Close to me so I can kiss you and wrap my hands
My hands around your body
When you're gone I really
Really miss you
Here we are
Rock
Rocking slowly
I wanna reel you in and bring you closer to me
Life ain't
What you expected it would be
Don't turn around now
Good times and bad times
Make us stronger to face tomorrow
Transpass the lines
Confront the obstacles
(But you're) way past turning-back point
Closer to the edge
And about to fall
I don't know where I should go
and If I fall
and If I fall right now...
Trademarked by pain
I'm sure up to resist
My soul my mind
Are not fooled by disguise
We have to keep on growing older
Learn from mistakes

I have been wronged by you
Someday you'll, someday you'll see
What has been done brings you
Closer to, closer to me
Did you say you never meant it?
Did you scream it out loud?
Someday you'll, someday you'll be
A ship afloat, and endless road, an empty soul
And nothing to
Nothing to me
The closer that we grow
Always high always low
The harder that we fall
Always right always wrong
I have been wronged by you
Someday you'll, someday you'll see
What has been done brings you
Closer to, closer to me
Unbroken and reborn
Second sights and well-worn
Unbridled and restless
Reminded and venomous
I have been wronged by you
Someday you'll, someday you'll see
What has been done brings you
Closer to, closer to me
Did you say you never meant it?
Did you scream it out loud?
Someday you'll, someday you'll be
A ship afloat, an endless road, and empty soul
And nothing to
Nothing to
Nothing to me
Closer to me
Closer to me
Closer to me
Closer to me
Closer to me
I have been wronged by you
Someday you'll, someday you'll see
What has been done brings you
Closer to, closer to me
Did you say you never meant it?
Did you scream it out loud?
Someday you'll, someday you'll be
A ship afloat, and endless road, an empty soul
And nothing to
Lord can you forgive me for
the way that i have been
Bring this heart around to where it all began
I've been to blind to see the signs that you keep sending
So I'm ready, no more pretending.
(Chorus)
Take my life, I need you now
Draw me closer draw me closer
I'm on my knees, I'm crying out
Draw me closer I want to be closer to you
I've traveled down so many roads that only brought me pain
And with every bridge I burned you could've turned away
But you never let me go your love is so incredible
So let it over flow
Cuz I'm too far, too far away God, You are You are the Way
I'm too far, too far away so I'm hanging on every single word You say
