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
