Closer Lyrics

If only love

Can mend my heart

Why do I ache when we're apart?

And if only love

Can make me strong

Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you

So long without you

Walking down the street

In a seconds' beat

I can shift from emptiness

To bursting at the seams

Someone passes by

Sad, familiar eyes

And I'm spilling on your answering machine

Wish we were closer

Need to be closer

If only love

Can mend my heart

Why do I ache when we're apart?

And if only love

Can make me strong

Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you

So long without you

What if you were here?

Would it change a thing?

We might drift for hours through familiar wanderings

Then needing time along

Time to know our own

Caught up in this puzzlebox

The paradox of need

Need to be closer

Need to be closer

If only love

Can mend my heart

Why do I ache when we're apart?

And if only love

Can make me strong

Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you
