Closer Lyrics

Our eyelids retire

The arms of the great cameraman in the sky

Grow tired

We saw the show on closing night

Lit the stage on fire

Watched the actors dance around

The exits bolted shut

We sat back down

And buckled up

Cause we're all in this together

Whether we like it or not

Starlings on a wire

Woke up in a dream

And I looked around for a tall building

To jump off of

Cause I needed

To wake up

Woke up walking down the street

And I looked around for a car

To jump in front of

Cause I needed

To get out

I fold up the beach chairs

And walk to the car

While the storm clouds are rolling in

And there's lightning over the pool

But we both go in

Those train tracks were not abandoned

Like I thought

It was too late when I saw those blinding lights

I went towards them

The warning signs, I just ignored them

My eyelids are frozen

The hands of the great cameraman in the sky

Seem closer
