CLOSER (N. Lifschey)
©N. Lifschey 2012. All Rights Reserved.
VERSE 1
Closer to the time it takes me forget and move on
Closer to the fall got my face on the ground
And it hurts me still, yeah
I think about all the things that I needed
The things I crave, yeah, they still escape me
I think about breaking out but I’m tied up
I need you closer to me

HOOK
‘Cause one day
I’m gonna break
I’m gonna split right down the middle
And one day
You’ll need to be there…
When I find myself in need

VERSE 2
Closer to the day, smell your flowers one more time
Oh, my eyes are wide open
Closer to the hour, you’re the glue that holds my spine
It keeps me straight and right (straight and right)
I think about all the things that I’m missing
It’s like a game I keep throwin’ just to lose
I think about better days and I’m smilin’
I need me closer to you

HOOK 2
‘Cause one day
I’m gonna break
I’m gonna split right down the middle
And one day
You’ll need to be there (you’ll need to be there)
When I find myself in need

(find myself in need…)
You’ll need to be there
You’ll need to be there
You’ll need to be there, ooh ooh
(hum… oh, oh…)

VERSE 3
I’m closer to the edge
Time is whirlin’ in my head
Oh, you’re smile it sends me over
I’m further from the end
Can’t keep ev’rything in step
But I ain’t fallin’, fallin’, fallin’ yeah
I think about all the times that I hold ya
I feel you breathe and know that ev’rything is right (it’s, alright baby)
Now I just need some of your consolation
I need you closer tonight
