All you really want from me
Is to stay closer
But it's only gettin harder for me
To see
The more we understand who we are
As we get older
And my heart's telling me
Oh, that baby it's over
But the fear won't let me leave
So, we only get closer

I never meant for this to take me over
But in the moment we were so in love
So you let me go once
But twice is way harder
Now you're only holdin on so I won't let go

All you really want from me
Is to stay closer
But it's only gettin harder for me
To see
The more we understand who are
As we get older
And my heart's sayin leave
Yet we're only getting closer
Yeah we're only getting closer we
Know that it's over

Painting faces just to mix it up now
Changing places still we're feelin stuck
Hold you close just to spare emotion
Is like the ghost of what could be
So you let me go once
But twice is way harder
Now you're only holdin on so I won't let go

All you really want from me
Is to stay closer
But it's only gettin harder for me
To see
The more we understand who are
As we get older
And my heart's sayin leave
Yet we're only getting closer
Yeah we're only getting closer we
Both know that it's over

Yet we're only getting closer
Yeah we're only getting closer we
Both know that it's over
