Closer Lyrics - Singles - Brett Perkins

If only love 

Can mend my heart 

Why do I ache when we're apart? 

And if only love 

Can make me strong 

Tell me how I'm to get along? 

So long without you 

So long without you 

Walking down the street 

In a seconds' beat 

I can shift from emptiness 

To bursting at the seams 

Someone passes by 

Sad, familiar eyes 

And I'm spilling on your answering machine 

Wish we were closer 

Need to be closer 

If only love 

Can mend my heart 

Why do I ache when we're apart? 

And if only love 

Can make me strong 

Tell me how I'm to get along? 

So long without you 

So long without you 

What if you were here? 

Would it change a thing? 

We might drift for hours through familiar wanderings 

Then needing time along 

Time to know our own 

Caught up in this puzzlebox 

The paradox of need 

Need to be closer 

Need to be closer 

If only love 

Can mend my heart 

Why do I ache when we're apart? 

And if only love 

Can make me strong 

Tell me how I'm to get along? 

So long without you
