Jars Of Clay - Closer lyrics

rate me

<BR>

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

Mother Earth's slowing down<br>

She's still spinning around and we......are getting dizzy<br>

<br>

I'll drop out of the race for more personal space<br>

'Cause the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin<br>

It's just how I'm feeling<br>

<br>

If you need more love, well you've gotta get close to me<br>

If you want my love, well you've gotta get closer to me<br>

<br>

No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I'll stitch<br>

You are tears, I'm a cheek<br>

I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks<br>

Out to sea for weeks<br>

<br>

But if you want my love, well you've gotta get close to me<br>

If you need my love, well you've gotta get closer to me<br>

Ooh, if you want my love:<br>

<br>

I don't understand why we can't get close enough<br>

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

I don't understand why we can't get close enough<br>

I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up<br>

<br>

You're my shirt iron-on, I'm the tick, you're the bomb<br>

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

Am I speaking clearly?<br>

<br>

If you want my love, well you've gotta get close to me<br>

Ooh, if you want my love:<br>

<br>

I don't understand why we can't get close enough<br>

I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
