Closer to You Lyrics by Liz Phair

Somebody’s Miracle (Japanese Edition)

2005

[Verse 1]
I see the things you do
Do you think I wander through half-blind?
I see the things you hide
The fear you have inside's nothing new
But I would never want to find out
Everything about you
'Cause I would never want to find out
What I thought wasn't true
[Chorus]
Your mind is a place
I don't need to erase
What you've got in your heart
Is enough for me to start
Breaking through
And closer to you, closer to you
[Verse 2]
I love you as you are
Near and not too far out of view
I love the way you walk
To hear it when you talk like you do
But I would never want to choose
What I like best about you
Because I would never want to
Spoil that mystery with a clue
[Chorus]
Your mind is a place
I don't need to erase
What you've got in your heart
Is enough for me to start
Filling up holes in my soul
I don't need your rock and roll
To stay in tune
And open to you, open to you
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 3]
Oh, the obviousness
Of all those Frustrating fools
They wander all around
Black and white, no sound, no improvements
But I see something like TV
With a smell and a choice
When I feel yours and my heart beating
With the wealth of the universe
[Chorus]
Your mind is a place
I don't need to erase
What you've got in your heart
Is enough for me to start
Making your happiness my own
Open up and let me show
What I can do
When I am closer to you, closer to you
