She'll read your mind, she's smart as a whip
She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die

I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid
I want you next to me, call it telepathy
We drifted into vision and look how much we see

I just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do

And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry,
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true

But I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you

Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants
I read your letter and look at how close I've come
There's more for us to see in this philosophy
We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be

I
Just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do

I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing lasts forever see
What we can turn eternity into

And I just want to get closer than close to you
At the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do

And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true

I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you
