[Verse 1]
Feeling like I'm floating
Something's in the air tonight
We're speaking with emotions
Won't look away
Love me at my lowest
I'll love you when you're barely holding on
Lighting up the darkness
I can be a shoulder when you're not strong

[Chorus]
Closer
Closer to you
Closer
Closer to you

[Verse 2]
Take you like my last breath
Took me, that's the first step
Closer with the silk dress
Feeling your warm embrace
Devil always tempting
But who gon' end the sentence
Wе're not meant to blend in
Blеnded with all your friends
Push and pull to get closer, closer
We tried again
Said I wouldn't lie
But I lied again
Mama told you
"Don't reply to him"
This ain't right
Who's wrong again?
We been tired
Restart again
Negative and the positive
Bringing us
[Chorus]
Closer
Closer to you
Closer
Closer to you
Closer
Closer to you
Closer
Closer to you
