[Verse 1]
Locking eyes the waning glance, mistook chance
Inviting meaning to the words forever
Broken silence, defiance, misspoke turn
Will I see you again if ever?
Come on and leave me here, I'm a vagabond though
Wandering the night alone
Right now you're over there in the social club state
Pondering the why, why are we alone
[Chorus]
A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered
A little bit closer to loving you
[Verse 2]
Yet defying I'm lying if I didn't tell you
You keep me up late at night
Is it alright if I call you lover even though we don't know each other
And probably never will
Would you stay with me, here in my dreams?
If I promised you this heaven
Would you take a chance on a make believe dance?
Close my eyes and we're together
[Chorus]x2
[Outro]
A little bit closer to loving you
A little bit closer to holding you
A little bit closer to knowing you
A little bit closer to touching you

I imagined someone who simply watched...
