"Come Closer"


Give me an invitation more than a guess
Give me a sign if only one single breath
I'll give you an empty page
This is the time and place

What kind of truth lives in the absence of trust?
What is the use of holding back on this much?
My eyes are open wide
Won't you let me inside?

Come closer, love
I can't hear what you're saying
Don't make it easy love
All the corners are fraying
How can I please you, love
When I don't know what you want?
It's a nice escape, but will it keep you warm at night?
I don't think so.

Uuh, how about you tell me what you're doubting us for?
What is wrong with both feet on this side of the door?
There is no easy way I'll be the one who stays

Come closer, love
I can't hear what you're saying
Don't make it easy love
All the corners are fraying
How can I please you, love
When I don't know what you want?
It's a nice escape, but will it keep you warm at night?
It's a nice escape, but will it keep you warm at night?
I don't think so.

You're so close to me
You're so far away
I don't know what you mean
You're way out of reach
You're so close to me
You're so far away

Come closer, love
I can't hear what you're saying
Don't make it easy love
All the corners are fraying
Won't you come closer, love
I can't hear what you're saying
How can I please you, love
When I don't know what you want?
It's a nice escape, but will it keep you warm at night?
It's a nice escape, but will it keep you warm at night?
