It's hard to let the miles pass me by   Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes   And when the seasons change again then I will too   I just want to be closer to you      I'm staring out at endless rows of green   There are miles of hay like I have never seen   Just when you think you've had enough and   your dreams come true   I just want to be closer to you      My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from   I tried not to let you down   Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong   Help me get my feet back on the ground      Tomorrow I'll be lying under you   With a heart of gold and arms to fall into   I know that there might come a day   where my life is through   But I just want to be closer to you      My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from   I tried not to let you down   Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong   Help me get my feet back on the ground      Someday we might learn to tell the truth   We might even find the fountains of our youth   We all needed something real we all need proof   I just want to be closer to you   I only want to be closer to you
