Closer Lyrics by Anberlin

Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place

2010

[Verse 1]
Do you expect me to be or believe you?
Do you accept me when it's me you can see through?
Are you keeping safe distance?
Are you arm's-length away?
Are you keeping safe distance
Holding me arm's-length away?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Are you there, can someone answer me?

[Chorus 1]
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer

[Verse 2]
Do you expect me to keep from crawling back?
Do you accept me when we both know my past?

Am I keeping safe distance, pushing you arm's-length away?
Am I keeping safe distance?
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Come where I can see

[Chorus 2]
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
Are you out there somewhere?
Come where I can see
Closer, closer, closer to me

[Bridge]
Come closer
Come closer
Come closer

[Chorus 2]
Closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer
Are you out there somewhere?
Come where I can see
Closer, closer, closer to me
