(McNeal/Jay G/Papalexis/Larossi/Benn/Yacoub)  Closer  If I touch the flames  I might get burned, baby  Closer  If I hesitate - will I ever learn  Not to take this love for granted  Lay our loving on the line  'Cause we are on this boat together  And we have to have an open mind  Memories of you like an echoe in my mind  Will I be caught in this trap 'til the end of time  Since you've been gone I've been down  I've been spinning my wheels  Just thinking about what you did to me  Is giving me chills  They say that time  Time is all that I need  That's the price that you have to pay  For a dirty deed  Closer...  Visions of us walking side by side in the rain  I want you back in my life, will I see you again  When we were together  No mountains that I couldn't climb  Hard times that I couldn't handle  Nowhere to be found  They say that time  Time is all that I need  That's the price that I have to pay  For a dirty deed  Closer...  "We wrote this one at a time in my life when I was touring  pretty much nonstop. It's about not taking your loved one for  granted. It was meant to be a traditional ballad with strings  and the works, but the crew added some jungle beats and  we decided to cut it this way."
