Closer Lyrics - Kenny Wesley

VERSE 1 

Closer to the time it takes me forget and move on 

Closer to the fall got my face on the ground 

And it hurts me still, yeah 

I think about all the things that I needed 

The things I crave, yeah, they still escape me 

I think about breaking out but I'm tied up 

I need you closer to me 

HOOK 

'Cause one day 

I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna split right down the middle 

And one day 

You'll need to be there... 

When I find myself in need 

VERSE 2 

Closer to the day, smell your flowers one more time 

Oh, my eyes are wide open 

Closer to the hour, you're the glue that holds my spine 

It keeps me straight and right (straight and right) 

I think about all the things that I'm missing 

It's like a game I keep throwin' just to lose 

I think about better days and I'm smilin' 

I need me closer to you 

HOOK 2 

'Cause one day 

I'm gonna break 

I'm gonna split right down the middle 

And one day 

You'll need to be there (you'll need to be there) 

When I find myself in need 

(find myself in need...) 

You'll need to be there 

You'll need to be there 

You'll need to be there, ooh ooh 

(hum... oh, oh...) 

VERSE 3 

I'm closer to the edge 

Time is whirlin' in my head 

Oh, you're smile it sends me over 

I'm further from the end 

Can't keep ev'rything in step 

But I ain't fallin', fallin', fallin' yeah 

I think about all the times that I hold ya 

I feel you breathe and know that ev'rything is right (it's, alright baby) 

Now I just need some of your consolation 

I need you closer tonight
