"Closer" lyrics

Closer
I wish I was closer to you
But circumstances change
Your touch has left a stain
Closer
I wish I was closer to you
Won't let this feeling pass
Letting go is too much to ask

I realise with time where it went wrong
How easy to erase what's set in stone
Some things, they can't be educated
But blame or pride, I'm not by your side

But I can be closer
I wish I could be closer to you
Though two souls may collide
Don't mean they'll stay alive
Oh, closer
I wish I was closer to you
Can't face the undertow
Too afraid to let it go, oh

Oh, I wonder if you feel the same at all
Can we blossom? Will we bloom after this fall?
How does endlessness become a short exchange
But we won't really change?

Oh, would we get to be closer?
I wish I could be closer to you
Our thirst will never quench
But at whose heart's expense?
Oh, I could be closer
I wish I was closer to you
Oh, another wasted prayer
Too far beyond repair

Ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, let me be beside you, let me be beside you
Oh, darling, oh
Oh, let me be beside you, I got to be beside you
Oh, darling
