watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep
there's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe
just want to be silently close to you
I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in
I see myself tattered and torn, I can be brand new
when I'm close to you
Don't ever let anyone ever tell me what it is they think I need
Because they've never seen the way you look at me
As if there's something in me that nobody else can see
I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you
You bring me up, you bring me out, you bring me in
I want to be, I want to be close to you
when I'm close to you
you never see things the way I did
instead I find I ain't satisfied with the man, the man I think I am
anything you want, anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you
You've been too far away
[Lyrics to "Close to You" (new version 1999/2000)]
watching daybreak, chase shadows from you, as you cling to sleep
there's a moment in my world, when I don't want to breathe
just want to be quietly close to you
I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you
when restless ones tear at my sleeve
you're the comfort I believe in
I want to be, I want to be close to you
I see myself as a hand me down, all broken in
and I see myself, I'm tattered and torn, I can be brand new
when I'm close to you
I never see things the way I did
instead I find I ain't satisfied with this man, the man I think I am
you know it's true
anything you want (yeah), anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one too, I want to be close to you
