"Closer" Lyrics

This is the first thing that I remember
It was a cold and lonely December
The love in a flame had become an ember
When I get closer, when I get closer

How could we fight this thing that we're needing
Under the light our souls have been bleeding
I never arrive but what am I seeing
When I get closer, when I get closer

When I get closer
There's nothing nowhere
But would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be

I've been awake but feel like I'm dreaming
We're given a way but never a meaning
I'm finding the air without ever breathing
When I get closer, when I get closer

You're blaming your faith for how you've been living
When there was pain you wanted to give in
But you'll never take me now that you fit in
When I get closer, when I get closer

When I get closer
There's nothing nowhere
But would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be, yeah
When I get closer
There's nothing nowhere
But would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be

Step back, don't want to get to close
You laugh and say I'll never know
I crack; the shame it starts to show
In fact the fear has taken hold

This is the first thing that I remember
It was a cold and lonely December
The love in a flame had become an ember
When I get closer, when I get closer

When I get closer
There's nothing nowhere
But would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be, yeah
When I get closer
There's nothing nowhere
But would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be

Yeah, yeah
Would I love to be there
You know I'd love to be
