Lyrics

Close

I wanna touch your face
I wanna touch your leaves
Trace along the veins to your palm
They look like rivers to me
Or branches of trees

If everything divides
Then everything's connected
I can see both sides in you
You're everything I know

Are we building or breaking?
Destroying or making?
Is it entropy or ecstasy?
Is it real? Are you faking?
I hardly can take it
When you're wrapping up your body in me

But I never get close enough to you
How do I let my love let me closer to you?
When I never get close enough, do you?
How do I let my touch let me closer to you?
Yeah, yeah
To you

This must be the place
I don't wanna leave here now
I just wanna stay, mm stay
Just wanna be here now

If it feels like there is something that restricts you
Defy it, it's not true
I can feel your fingers screaming that you're really here with me
I love you

But I never get close enough to you
How do I let my love let me closer to you?
When I never get close enough, do you?
How do I let my touch let me closer to you?
To you
Yeah

Still I feel close to you
I feel close to you
I don't feel the space but I know that its there some days
Still I feel close to you, yeah

I never get close enough to you
How do I let my love let me closer to you?
When I never get close enough, do you?
How do I let my touch let me closer to you?
I never get close enough to you
How do I let my love let me closer to you?
When I never get close enough, do you?
How do I let my touch let me closer to you?
