Close to You

[Verse 1]
I said it seems a shame
To put out such a flame
As I watch you wash your face
And I'm taking in your frame
And you're screaming out my name
As you're taking all the blame
Every word of yours I take
As I'm crushed beneath their weight

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I hold out a candle for you?
'Cause I want you to light up my room
Now everything's on fire
You're dancing in the ashes of my pacifier
And I let you destroy every one of my moves
Thought I was winning, but baby, I lose

[Chorus 1]
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you

[Verse 2]
Saw your friends the other day
And they told me how you'd changed
Didn't recognize your face
From your message I replayed
Now I'm backed against a wall
With my guns, ready for war
And I'm shooting as I fall
But you don't notice me at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I hold out a candle for you?
'Cause I want you to light up my room
Now everything's on fire
You're dancing in the ashes of my pacifier
And I let you destroy every one of my moves
Thought I was winning, but baby, I lose

[Chorus 2]
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you

[Coda]
Now I'm watching you walk away
As you lock my gate
I wanna see your face
I wanna catch your gaze
And crawl into your head
Untangle all the mess
Make myself a bed
And lie in it
I'm watching you walk away
As you lock my gate
I wanna see your face
I wanna catch your gaze
And crawl into your head
Untangle all the mess
Make myself a bed
And lie in it
