"Closer" lyrics

Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, yeah

I don't wanna do wrong
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be distant, baby
Sometimes I'm gone off into a zone
Trying to keep from going crazy
Gotta catch myself, I'm always ahead and I don't wanna say the wrong things
Gotta bring myself back
Try to relax
Think about the joy you bring

I can't stop
In a place
Where it seems I can't break free
And I don't
Wanna take
Take it out on you, baby
I just really need some time
Just to clear out my mind
And I promise things will only get better

I just wanna be closer to you, baby
Need some understanding
For the things that I'm going through
Boy, won't you let me get closer to you?
I won't be so demanding
I just wanna be closer, closer to you

There's nothing you did
Everything I forgive
But I can't get past the ceiling
I find myself
Trying to think of the words
To express just how I'm feeling
Sometimes the words won't come
And I really wanna run
'Cause I just don't feel like healing
But I always come around
'Cause I wanna stay down
And I really wanna work things out

I can't stop
In a place
Where it seems I can't break free
And I don't
Wanna take
Take it out on you, baby
I just really need some time
Just to clear out my mind
And I promise things will only get better

I just wanna be closer to you, baby
Need some understanding
For the things that I'm going through
Boy, won't you let me get closer to you?
I won't be so demanding
I just wanna be closer, closer to you

(I wanna be) closer to you baby
(I wanna be) won't you let me be, baby?
(I wanna be) I wanna be, I wanna be
Closer (closer) to you, baby

I just wanna be closer to you
Need some understanding
For the things that I'm going through
Boy, won't you let me get closer to you?
I won't be so demanding
I just wanna be closer, closer to you
I just wanna be closer to you
Need some understanding
For the things that I'm going through
Boy, won't you let me get closer to you?
I won't be so demanding
I just wanna be closer, closer to you
I just wanna be closer to you
I need some understanding
For the things that I'm going through
Boy, won't you let me get closer to you?
I won't be so demanding
I just wanna be closer, closer to you

Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer
