Loneliness, a constant friend and lover I know well
Crowded rooms, the iron bars that surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, did you see
Knowing from this moment, if you did, we could be...

One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Much closer than before

So many lines, you heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand your personality
And though we've never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will dissolve you into me

One step closer
Closer than we were
One step closer
Much closer than before

One step closer
Much closer than we were
One step closer
It's closer than before
