Lyrics

Closer

break it to me gentle and i'll do the best i can
i know it's kind of scary to surrender what you have
trust me if you want me you can always take it back
i'll calm your troubled waters, take forever from your hands

innocent, i'm innocent, i'm really not that bad
tried my best to take your pain i wanna bring you back
do you need a medal, do you even understand?
got me out of order, got me going kinda mad

might be your closer, baby, might be the best you ever had

every now and then i get a glimpse of who you were
tortured and delusional just sticking to your guns
glad you're getting better but i miss the way it was
i know we're getting older, know we're kicking up some dust
i wish that you could see me, wish you knew me how you did
the things we took for granted, well of course we'd waste it
when i think it over might as well face facts
all those days are over and they're never coming back

might be your closer, baby, might be the best you ever had
