CLOSER a thousand houses where i don't belong but the warm lights look like honey way out here there's a wind in the branches and i know this song but the moon's a judge you cannot persuade so i try and tell myself i had to go she'd have missed me more if i had stayed such a blue and flawless night just don't seem right without you near i would give you my ring and everything just to hear closer, come closer to me i told her how i spell my name but she pretended not to know it begins with spring and ends in rain now when i sleep i hear you breathe it comes from all directions in my dreams thought i'd close my eyes and make you leave pass your house wonder what went wrong the warm lights look like heaven from out here and the wind on the windshield plays our song © 2001 chin-up music
