Close To You Lyrics - Singles - Far Too Jones

watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep 

there's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe 

just want to be silently close to you 

I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in 

I see myself tattered and torn, I can be brand new 

when I'm close to you 

Don't ever let anyone ever tell me what it is they think I need 

Because they've never seen the way you look at me 

As if there's something in me that nobody else can see 

I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you 

You bring me up, you bring me out, you bring me in 

I want to be, I want to be close to you 

when I'm close to you 

you never see things the way I did 

instead I find I ain't satisfied with the man, the man I think I am 

anything you want, anything you need 

I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to 

I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you 

You've been too far away 

[Lyrics to "Close to You" (new version 1999/2000)] 

watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep 

there's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe 

just want to be quietly close to you 

I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you 

when restless ones tear at my sleeve 

you're the comfort I believe in 

I want to be, I want to be close to you 

I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in 

and I see myself, I'm tattered and torn, I can be brand new 

when I'm close to you 

I never see things the way I did 

instead I find I ain't satisfied with this man, the man I think I am 

you know it's true 

anything you want (yeah), anything you need 

I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to 

I want to be the only one too, I want to be close to you
