Lyrics and translation
Original
Closer
I wish I was closer to you
The circumstance has changed
Your touch has left a stain
Closer
I wish I was closer to you
Won't let this feeling pass
Letting go is too much to ask
I realize, with time, where it went wrong
How easy to erase what's set in stone
Some things, they can't be educated
Put blame on pride
I'm not by your side
When I could be closer
I wish I could be closer to you
Though two souls may collide
Don't mean they'll stay aligned
Oh, ohh, closer
I wish I was closer to you
Can't face the undertow
Too afraid to let it go
Oh
Oh, I wonder if you feel the same at all
Can we blossom, will we bloom after this fall?
How does endlessness become a short exchange?
Were we wrong? Can it change?
What would we give to be closer?
I wish I was closer to you
A thirst we'll never quench
But at whose heart's expense?
Ohh, I could be closer
I wish I was closer to you
Oh, another wasted prayer
Too far beyond repair
Ooh
(Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, ahh)
Ohh, oh-oh
(Ooh, sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, ahh) Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, let me be beside you
Let me be beside you
Oh, darling, oh
Oh, let me be beside you
I got to be beside you
Oh, darling
