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 leavin' 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 at how much we see

Ah...

Ah...



I just wanna get closer than close to you

To the moment you discover

What the best of my love can do

And lovers fall for lover's friends

We make each other cry

Living in each others lives

And tryin' to make the fantasy come true

But I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby

I just wanna get closer than close, to you



Your soul is naked

It tells you what you want

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

Ah...

Ah...



I just wanna 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 last forever see

What we can turn eternity into

And I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby

I just wanna get closer than close, to you
