Closer

From Things We Lost in the Fire2001

Written by Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker, Zak Sally

Lyrics

Closer

[Chorus]

Hold me closer than that

Hold me closer than that

How'd we get here so fast?

Hold me closer than that

[Verse 1]

On a dark, raging sea

Ships lay sleeping beneath

Overhead, spinning past

Hold me closer than that

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Things we lost in the fire

How'd we ever get by?

Words will never take back

Hold me closer than that

[Chorus]

Hold me closer than that

Hold me closer than that

How'd we get here so fast?

Hold me closer than that

[Outro]
