Closer Lyrics by James Zero

Oceans (& Other Bodies of Water)

2021

[Verse: James Zero]
Somewhere under the ocean
Somewhere under the sea
I was sailing to find you
But you were looking for me
I hear a voice singing softly
Scared of what it could be
A red sky at starboard
It was singing to me:

[Chorus: James Zero]
"Come closer, boy
If you follow the stars all night, I'll stay up
Come closer, boy
I wanna see just what you're made of"

[Verse: James Zero]
Sand in my toenails
Sunlight on my face
Awake on an island
My vessel drifted away
I hear a voice singing softly
Coming out from the sea
A red sky at night time
It was singing to me

[Chorus: James Zero]
"Come closеr, boy
If you follow the stars all night, I'll stay up
Come closer, boy
I wanna see just what you'rе made of"

[Verse: James Zero]
I swim over yonder
Sirius as my guide
Her song was pulling me under
I had to dive down inside
I hear a voice singing softly
Amongst the bottom debris
The water crept into my lungs
As it was singing to me

[Chorus: James Zero]
"Come closer, boy
If you follow the stars all night, I'll stay up
Come closer, boy
I wanna see just what you're made of
Come closer, boy
If you follow the stars all night, I'll stay up
Come closer, boy
I wanna see just what you're made of"

[Outro: James Zero]
Closer, come closer
Closer, come closer
Closer, come closer
Closer, come closer
