Closer I Get Lyrics - John Popper

People say it just doesn't matter but 

The closer I get I'm giving in 

I can't escape 

Damn what a shame 

Listen to me just for a minute 

I can be quick, no gimmick 

I got a plan we should live it 

The closer I get, I can't relate 

This ain't our place, let us go far far away 

Find a new home, rules of our own 

You and me both are the same 

Try to be strong baby come on now, come on 

Lie after lie, so many times 

When I'm trying to find a peace of mind 

I've got love for you when the time gets rough 

When all the stress adds up 

When you say I've had enough 

Got love for you when the time gets rough 

When all the stress adds up 

When you say I've had enough 

What ever happened to the good times? 

We should create for ourselves, not rely on 

They'll never get a hold of me 

Simple you see, the simplicity 

Yeah the closer I get I can't relate 

I can't escape, oh the pain 

How they lie all the time 

When I'm trying to find a peace of mind 

I've got love for you when the time gets rough 

When all the stress adds up 

When you say I've had enough 

Got love for you when the time gets rough 

When all the stress adds up 

When you say I've had enough 

Yes I found my own way out 

I'm going all the way 

Until the people all find out 

They're going all the way down
