"Closer" lyrics

Meric Long & The Dodos Lyrics

"Closer"

I don't want to be your mirror
I just want to get on your side
Been stuck on a different ending
Okay if I change a few lines?
I just want to make it clearer
It's not that I want a rewrite
Sometimes need to get out from that place
Can't tell if I'm in or outside

One step forward
Unintentional consequences coming your way
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer

One step forward
Unintentional consequences coming your way
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer

This is what it takes
If you want it
This is what it takes
Fuck off with your reinvention

This feels like a bit of violence
The words that you don't know how to hear
Let's start with a different sentence
It's not that I want to interfere
It's late, can we stop pretending?
I know from this moment, I will
I wait till the story disappears
You write us a different ending

One step forward
Unintentional consequences coming your way
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer

One step forward
Unintentional consequences coming your way
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer
Not now, 'cause we're getting closer

This is what it takes
If you want it
This is what it takes
If you want it
This is what it takes
If you want it
This is what it takes
Fuck off with your reinvention
