Why with you is it always all or nothing
What seemed important then now turns to dust
I know it hurts to be this lonely
I know it's hard to live life out of trustBut night cannot reveal the coming morning
And morning never knows how the day will end
But me without you, I'm left here wanting
Lost inside my own life once againCloser, closer
I'm feeling my way in the cold light of day
Closer, closer
I'm feeling my way, nearer each dayWhy does it always feel like I am running backwards
There's always just one more mile to go
And all this time we've struggled just like loversA struggle that no words could ever show
You must have sensed I was growing reckless
You must have known my pain was very realCloser, closer
I'm pulling the weight of a million years
Closer, closer
I find myself out on this old road again
Closer, closer
You've lived this lifeYou know what it's like
Closer, closer
You know how it feels
You know it's a fightWhy does it always hurt when you get close to me
Why do I pull away when you draw near
You know that you're my life and my love only
All my inner failings disappearSeems to me my heart burned down again last night
Leaves me out here wandering in the cold
Somewhere in the distance you were calling me
Somewhere in the distance lies my homeCloser, closer
I'm feeling the weight of a million years
Closer, closer
I find myself out on this cold road againCloser, closer
You've lived this life you know what it's like
Closer, closer
You know how it feels, you know its a fight
Closer, closer
