Closer to You

Liz Phair

I see the things you do
Do you think I wander through, half-blind?
I see the things you hide
The fear you have inside is nothing new

But I would never want to find out
Everything about you
Cause I would never want to find out
What I thought wasn't true

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough
For me to start breaking through
Closer to you
Closer to you

I love you as you are
Here and not too far
Out of view
I love the way you walk
To hear it when you talk
Like you do

But I would never want to choose
What I like best
About you
Cause I would never want to spoil
That mystery
With a clue

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough
For me to start
With enough holes in my soul
I don't need your rock-n-roll to stay in tune
And open to you
Open to you

Oh the abyss
Mess of all those frustrating fools
They wander all around
Black and white, no sound, no improvements

But I see something on a TV
With a smell and a choice
When I feel yours and my heart beating
With the wealth of the universe

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough
For me to start making your happiness my own
Open up and let me show what I can do
When I am closer to you
Closer to you
