Lock all the doors an turn out the lights.
Work this thing through till we get it right.
But if I seem angry an cold,
Or I dont speak at all,
Its just that old fear,
cause baby, Im closer than I appear.
An here are the facts, as much as I know.
Weve got to turn back if we cant let it go.
You know your heart an your mind.
An Im just three steps behind,
But I feel those tears,
cause baby, Im closer than I appear.
Yeah, baby, Im closer than I appear.
cause somewhere inside, Im reachin out for you.
Somewhere inside, we both know the truth.
But I learned lots of rules bout what a mans made of,
An I got to rethink what I know about love.
Hey, Im willin to change.
If I still seem the same, well its just them old fears.
An, baby, Im closer than I appear.
If I was born to stand here, an give you nothing but love,
To fill up these years,
Then, baby, Im closer than I appear.
Yeah, baby, Im closer than I appear.
Well, come closer, an Ill come closer.
Well, come closer, closer than I appear.
