I went out in the street for a walk in the night   Had to loosen my head, it's been wound too tight   I've been standing on the edge after picking a fight with you      Sometimes my world seems so damn small   I can't think of nothing 'cept for me at all   And my thoughts surround me like a prison wall, it's true      I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now      It takes all my strength to slow myself down   My thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound   Sometimes I wish there was no one around but you      Oh, tell me you know what I'm talking about   Sometimes you're the sail like confusion and doubt   And then it hurts so bad, you just wanna shout, "I'm through"      I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now      Please forgive these things I might've said   You see they come from my frustration, not my head   And the last thing that I wanna do   Is create a distance between me and you      I wanna get closer to you now   I gotta get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I gotta get closer to you now      Well, there seem to be two states of mind   One is visionary, the other blind   And the best that we can hope to find   Is to meet somewhere in between      Well, the night air has pulled me back a bit   Just when I was about to quit, trying to get a candle lit   That lets me see what can't be seen      I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now      I gotta get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now   I wanna get closer to you now
