Closer

[Verse 1: Kele] 22nd of Loneliness I know what's not being said Fall asleep in my clothes again On your side of the bed Underneath an open window You'll find me biding my time Howling and empty-hearted Cause you're not here [Chorus: Jodie Scantlebury] In your absence, I unravel In your absence, I am gone So go easy on this heart, time to love or fall apart In your absence, I unravel I need you closer I need you back here in my life I need you closer (closer) I need you closer [Verse 2: Kele] 23rd of Loneliness Our secrets stopped being shared Walk the streets on my own again With your laughter in my head In every face I see, there's you, there's you These wounds stay open and raw In every voice I hear, there's you, there's you But you're not here [Chorus: Jodie Scantlebury] In your absence, I unravel In your absence, I am gone So go easy on this heart, time to love or fall apart In your absence, I unravel I need you closer I need you back here in my life I need you closer (closer) I need you closer
