Closer Lyrics - Closer - Vertical Horizon

Take these roses off of me 

Let me live, let me be 

Let my eyes 

For a little while 

See everything and nothing in their time 

I do not mind 

And light up the hillside 

Who'd have guessed I'd ever learn 

To let the walls around me burn 

I ate them for so long 

And nothing changed 

It was just the same 

My words

And I don't know if you see me here 

I will see you... 

But I can tell you your face is clear 

Chorus: 

Forever 

Forever 

I will see you 

Forever 

Forever 

Call me close once again 

Call me teacher, call me friend 

Just like the first time 

Call my name 

It's all you 

It echoes in the walls around this room 

And I don't know if you hear me there 

When it's dark and no one cares 

I will hear you...

Forever 

Forever 

Forever 

I will hear you 

Forever 

And I wanted you to be 

Everything to me 

And now I've got to learn to carry on 

And I know I cannot hide 

This emptiness inside 

Nothing is the same since you're gone 

Send me letters from above 

Such sweet love 

Send me strength, send me love 

Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart 

That's where you are... 

And I don't know if you feel me here 

I can tell you one thing is clear 

I will feel you... 

Forever 

Forever 

I will feel you 

Forever 

Forever 

And I will hear you 

Forever 

Forever 

Forever 

And I will see you 

Forever 

Take these roses off of me 

Let me live, let me be
