Текст песни Closer

If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you
So long without you

Walking down the street
In a seconds' beat
I can shift from emptiness
To bursting at the seams
Someone passes by
Sad, familiar eyes
And I'm spilling on your answering machine

Wish we were closer
Need to be closer

If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you
So long without you

What if you were here?
Would it change a thing?
We might drift for hours through familiar wanderings
Then needing time along
Time to know our own
Caught up in this puzzlebox
The paradox of need

Need to be closer
Need to be closer

If only love
Can mend my heart
Why do I ache when we're apart?
And if only love
Can make me strong
Tell me how I'm to get along?

So long without you
