[Intro]
Close to you, close to you
Close to you, close to you
Close to you, close to you
Close to you, close to you

[Verse 1]
Painless ache, you give it
In friendly supply
Your life, let me live it
Your death, let me die
The years melt to minutes
When you’re by my side
This love knows no limits
This love’s suicide

[Pre-Chorus]
Entered this world an awkward shape
Misfit in every way, my fate
From chaos there was no escape
‘Til my best mistake
And now your waters swallow me
Extinguishing my memory
The saint of fleshly charity
I just want to be
Close to you
[Chorus]
I just wanna be close to you
Close to you
I just wanna be close to you
Close to you

[Verse 2]
Oh baby, I was too afraid to admit it
You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me, baby
Miss your sweet slavery
Miss the whip, staining me

[Pre-Chorus]
Your forgiveness I can’t outrun
As trusting as a loaded gun
Senile and only just begun
Every inch undone
And now the end it creeps to me
Will take my leave in ecstasy
No regrets or apologies
I just want to be
Close to you

[Outro]
I just wanna be close to you
Close to you
I just wanna be close to you
