Closer - The Call

Why with you is it always all or nothing

What seemed important then now turns to dust

God I know it hurts to be this lonely

I know it’s hard to live life out of trust

But night cannot reveal the coming morning

And morning never knows how the day will end

But me without you, I’m left here wanting

Lost inside my own life once again

Closer, closer

I’m feeling my way in the cold light of day

Closer, closer

I’m feeling my way, nearer each day

Why does it always feel like I’m running backwards

There’s always just one more mile to go

And all this time we’ve struggled just like lovers

A struggle that no words could ever show

You must have sensed I was growing reckless

You must have known my pain was very real

Closer, closer

I’m pulling the weight of a million years

Closer, closer

I find myself out on this old road again

Closer, closer

You’ve lived this life and you know what it’s like

Closer, closer

You know how it feels, you know it’s a fight

Oh

Why does it always hurt when you get close to me

Why do I pull away when you draw near

You know that you’re my life and my love only

All my inner failings disappear

Seems to me my heart burned down again last night

Leaves me out here wandering in the cold

Somewhere in the distance you were calling me

Somewhere in the distance lies my home

Closer, closer

I’m feeling the weight of a million years

Closer, closer

I find myself out on this cold road again

Closer, closer

You’ve lived this life you know what it’s like

Closer, closer

You know how it feels, you know its a fight

Closer, closer

Closer, closer
