about

I was feeling wistful, what can I say?

lyrics

Closer


So hi to your lovers
Hi to the crowds that watched you
As we waved to the fleets arrive
We waited for their waves to wash you

Ah Closer, I want you to hold me closer
I’m someone that you’ve chosen
And you double my strength when I’m failing

When we walked on the pier
We were the biggest part of outside
Both sharing one ceiling
With the darker one not far behind

So take me, take me to somewhere open
And fall with me somewhere frozen
Whilst laughing that we should have stayed at home
Why do we need to stay home
There’s far more romance when we roam
Where it’s too cold for tears to leak

You belonged to the garden
Of the first summer that I inhaled
As this was thought it disappeared
The same sun that was so well behaved

Tell me in hymns or hobbies tell me
If in life and love we shall be
Always a step away from too low
I’ll never say your name too low
It will be sung until I go
So long it will remain

Closer I want you to hold me closer
