She'll raid 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 Emotion, and leaving me there to die I tell myself that I won't take her place To confide in someone, and look at how much I pay I want you next to me, call it telepathy We drifted into vision, and look at how much we see Ah, ah I just wanna get closer, get close to you I know that one way or the other, any test of my faith will do Nervous for my nervous friends, make each other cry Limiting each other's lives, trying to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer, get close to you Your soul is leaking, it tells you what you want I read your letter, and look at how close I come And all for us to see, in this philosophy We don't think nothing at all, and look at how close we be Ah, ah I just wanna get closer, get close to you I know that one way or the other, any test of my faith will do Give my heart for you to break, give my final breath Nothing lasts forever, see, we could turn eternity in two I just wanna get closer, get close to you And the moment you discover, the best of my love for you Ah, ah I just wanna get closer, get close to you Ah, ah I know that one way or the other, any test of my faith will do Ah, ah I just wanna get closer, get close to you
