[Verse 1]
Walking in London like I did as a child
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
I'm passing through the neighbourhood where I grew up
It doesn't feel like it used to, doesn't feel like it used to
Did I try to control you?
Yeah, I get lost in my own world
So I go through all the words I ever said
And it feels like the world is crashing down

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's light up the city
Yeah, the buildings ain't so pretty
Let's have the time of our lives

[Chorus]
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closеr than we ever drеamed of
We've never been closer than now

[Post-Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
These are the days of excess (Yeah)
You want the moon 'cause it's been calling you (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
So let's light up the city
The buildings ain't so pretty
And we're having the time of our lives

[Chorus]
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closer than we ever dreamed of
We've never been closer than now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closer than we ever dreamed of
We've never been closer than now

[Outro]
Walking through London like I did as a child
Yeah, the spotlight can't keep up with us no more
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
Yeah, it's you that can turn this world around
