Closer Lyrics by Buckcherry

Warpaint

2019

[Intro]
Oh, people get wild
I said, oh, the place is on fire
Go!

[Verse 1]
Just a step ahead of me
Is a picture of my old life
I won't waste my energy
Looking back in time
Maybe what I'm gonna need
Is to go out for tonight
Put a hold on everything
And get to feelin' alright
Alright

[Chorus]
People gettin' wild
'Cause the place is on fire
When nothing can control ya
That's when you know you're getting closer
Here we go!

[Verse 2]
I was meant to be a king
The kind that leads a good life
But things ain't what they used to be
Sometimes we need to compromise
I just need a place to go
Where I can be with my friends
The kind of friends that run a show
And they always want to win
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
People gettin' wild
'Cause the place is on fire
When nothing can control ya
That's when you know you're getting closer
People gettin' wild
'Cause the place is on fire
When nothing can control ya
That's when you know you're getting closer
Here we go!

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, people get wild
I said, oh, the place is on fire
Oh, people get wild
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
People gettin' wild
'Cause the place is on fire
When nothing can control ya
That's when you know you're getting closer
People gettin' wild (You're getting closer)
'Cause the place is on fire (You're getting closer)
When nothing can control ya (You're getting closer)
That's when you know you're getting closer
That's when you know you're getting closer
Here we go!
