Falling asleep on the family couch,
Rain falling down on the empty house,
Far too young to be making out.
We woke up late and we both freaked out,
You didn't want your Mum and Dad to find out.
When you sleep it looks like you are dead
And i get so upset living without you.

I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you

I sent you Valentines written in my blood,
I give you poetry i wrote it in my head,
Would your life be happier without me,
Maybe i'll just stop living.
I've got a photograph of you inside my head,
I've got your lipstick in a shrine beside my bed,
Its my religion, my death and resurrection,
And we are tested ? staying together.

I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you

The way you take me for granted,
I've been doing the same to you.
The way you take me for granted,
I've been doing the same to you.
The way you take me for granted,
I've been doing the same to you.
The way you take me for granted,
I've been doing the same to you.

So long, so long.

What we have can we ever get back,
The innocence of a child and all that.
When they say I've gotta stay away,
I've gotta wait my turn,
I know its gonna come someday.

I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be closer to you.
