Closer Than Anything (Live) Lyrics

I wish you were liquid

So that way I could absorb you into my skin

Closer than anything

I'd wear you around all day like a layer of sunblock

Like I move and you move, too

Closer than anything

Sheet spread cross the bed

Glass to the window, concrete to the street

Closer than anything

Talking tattooed on my soul but ink stamped on my sleeve

Buried deep but seen

Closer than anything

Hold me tighter than you have held a man

Like believing in being one again

Cause I've felt alive and I've felt alone

And here lately I've felt a bit of both

There's a world outside this place, it's crazy and it's twisted

Resist it my lady and hold tight to the reigns

Cause the train's at the station and this break man waits for no one

His eye like a raging sun closer than anything to me

Sunlight splinters advancing and receding

Cross the carpet to the rhythm of the curtain in the wind

Yeah, they move like we do thoughtless but together

Effortless like breathing

Closer than anything

I wish you were liquid so that way I could

Absorb you into my skin

Closer than anything
