Closer Lyrics - The Long Fall Back To Earth - Jars Of Clay

Well, you thought you let go but you're still hanging on, 

Mother Earth's slowing down, she's still spinning around, 

And we are getting dizzy, 

I'll drop out of the race for more personal space, 

'Cause the rockets will in, gets so cold and I miss your skin, 

It's just how I'm feeling, 

If you need more love, well you've got to get close to me, 

If you want my love, well you've got to get closer to me, 

No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage, I'll stitch, 

You are tears, I'm a cheek, I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks, 

Out to sea for weeks, 

Well, if you want my love, well you've got to get close to me, 

If you need my love, well you've got to get closer to me, 

Oh, if you want my love, 

I don't understand why we can't get close enough, 

I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up, 

No, I don't understand why we can't get close enough 

I'll be the comets that are fallin' from the sky you light up, light up, 

You're my shirt, I an arm, 

I'm the tick, you're the bomb, 

You're the L and the V, I'm the O and the E, 

Am I speaking clearly? 

If you want my love, well you've got to get close to me, 

Ooh, if you want my love, 

I don't understand why we can't get close enough, 

I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up, 

No, I don't understand why we can't get close enough, 

I'll be the comets that are fallin' from the sky you light up, 

Because I don't understand why we can't get close enough, 

Ill miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch,
