Closer Than I Appear

Lock all the doors and turn out the lights

We'll work this thing through till we get it right

But if I seem angry and cold or I don't speak at all

It's just that old fear 'cause baby, I'm closer than I appear

And here are the facts, as much as I know

We've got to turn back if we can't let it go

You know your heart and your mind

I'm just three steps behind, but I feel those tears

'Cause baby, I'm closer than I appear

Yeah, baby, I'm closer than I appear

Somewhere inside, I'm reaching out for you

Somewhere inside, we both know the truth

But I learned lots of rules about what a man is made of

And I got to rethink what I know about love

Hey, I'm willing to change

If I still seem the same, well it's just them old fears

And baby, I'm closer than I appear

If I was born to stand here

And give you nothing but love to fill up these years

Then, baby, I'm closer than I appear

Yeah, baby, I'm closer than I appear

Well, come closer and I'll come closer

Well, come closer, closer than I appear
