Closer To Me

Plugging my ears tighter every night I go to sleep
no need to hear what I don't even want to see
I stay up all night wired and wasted on worries
thinking about your promise

Hoping sometime I will see
what you mean
as I live in this world day by day
and I feel you are nearer
looking for me

Down at the bar they said you had come asking for me
a small man with a bone to pick, or so it seemed
they could see that my mood changed instantly
I have to go I'm feeling ill at ease

Hoping sometime I will see
what you mean
as I live in this world day by day
and I feel you are nearer
looking for me
and you know i will be there
to help you find your way
my time is almost here
as you're closer to me

I couldn't sleep last night with the fear
of knowing that you were here
thinking that this day is my last
wide eyed I'm waiting for the blast

as soon as I saw you on the stairs
I couldn't believe that you were there
I returned the smile that you flashed
wide eyed I'm waiting for the blast
