Close To You

Watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep

There's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe

Just want to be silently close to you

I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in

I see myself tattered and torn, I can be brand new

When I'm close to you

Don't ever let anyone ever tell me what it is they think I need

Because they've never seen the way you look at me

As if there's something in me that nobody else can see

I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you

You bring me up, you bring me out, you bring me in

I want to be, I want to be close to you

When I'm close to you

You never see things the way I did

Instead I find I ain't satisfied with the man, the man I think I am

Anything you want, anything you need

I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to

I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you

You've been too far away

[Lyrics to "Close to You" (new version 1999/2000)]

Watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep

There's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe

Just want to be quietly close to you

I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you

When restless ones tear at my sleeve

You're the comfort I believe in

I want to be, I want to be close to you

I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in

And I see myself, I'm tattered and torn, I can be brand new

When I'm close to you

I never see things the way I did

Instead I find I ain't satisfied with this man, the man I think I am

You know it's true

Anything you want (yeah), anything you need

I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to

I want to be the only one too, I want to be close to you
