Closer
|
|
I'm there in the bed with my wife
|
And she's looking for some room to sleep
|
And I'm there touching her shoulder
|
Hoping that maybe we could dream the same dream
|
I stare into space awake I lie
|
Wondering how close could get her and I
|
|
And closer, you see what I want is closer
|
Oh, I'm always there trying to get closer
|
Oh Closer oh closer than we've been before
|
Always trying to get closer
|
Cuz that's where I want to go sir
|
|
How can I say what I'm trying to say
|
Lonely for somebody who's an inch away
|
And closer, you see what I want is closer.
|
|
Now it's time to pick out a restaurant
|
And I'm still thinking about getting closer
|
A take out stand is often where I want to go sir
|
Cuz I really don't want that expensive kind
|
When how to get closer is what's on my mind
|
|
And closer, you see what I want is closer
|
Well now I'm always there thinking about closer
|
Oh Closer well closer than we've been before
|
Oh closer Cuz that's where I want to go sir
|
Oh yeah
|
|
And my wife is sleeping, for more she's striving
|
But I'm touching her cuz I'm always conniving
|
To get closer, you see what I want is closer
|
Oh yeah.
|
|
Meanwhile, back in the bed
|
I'm there snoring up a storm
|
And my wife is there lying next to me
|
And I'm there touching her arm
|
Now her leg and my leg are starting to intertwine
|
And that's good news for me because I'm always trying
|
To get closer you see what I want...
|
|
Well what I want is closer
|
What I want is to get closer
|
Oh than we've been before
|
Oh closer more and more
|
oh more and more.
|
Yeah I want more.
|
|
"Hey Wait, hey wait a minute Jonathan
|
now don't get excited."
|
Well but I am and I do and I never hide it!
|
And closer, mmm, what I want is to get...
|
Closer Closer Closer.
