Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Closer

Well you thought you let go

But you're still hangin' on

Mother Earth's slowing down

She's still spinning around

And we... are gettin' dizzy

I'll drop out of the race

For more personal space

'Cause the rocket we're in

Get so cold and I miss your skin...

It's just how I'm feelin'...

If you need more love

Well, you've got to get close to me

If you want my love

Well, you've got to get closer to me

No unreachable itch

If you hemmorage, I'll stitch

You are tears, I'm a cheek

I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks

Out to sea for weeks...

If you want my love

Well, you've got to get close to me

If you need my love

Well, you've got to get closer to me

Ooh, if you want my love...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH

I WANT YOUR KITE STRINGS TANGLED IN MY TREES ALL WRAPPED UP

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH

I'LL BE THE COMETS THAT ARE FALLIN' FROM THE SKY YOU LIGHT UP

Light up...

You're my shirt, eye and arm

I'm the tick, you're the bomb

You're the L and the V

I'm the O and the E...

Am I speaking clearly?

If you want my love

Well, you've got to get close to me

Ooh, if you want my love...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH

I WANT YOUR KITE STRINGS TANGLED IN MY TREES ALL WRAPPED UP

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH

I'LL BE THE COMETS THAT ARE FALLIN' FROM THE SKY YOU LIGHT UP

I don't understand why we can't get close enough...

I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch...
