It's hard to let the miles pass me by

Yellow lines they blend together in my eyes

And when the seasons change again then I will too

But I just wanna be closer to you.

And I'm staring out at endless rows of green

There are miles of hay like I've never seen

But just when you think you've had enough and your dreams come true

I just wanna be closer to you.

Oh my mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from

I tried not to let you down

Now I wonder if I've been doing something wrong

Help me get my feet back on the ground.

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you

With a heart of gold and arms to fall into

I know that there might come a day my life is through

But I just wanna be closer to you.

Oh my mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from

I tried not to let you down

Now I wonder if I've been doing something wrong

Help me get my feet back on the ground.

Someday we might learn to tell the truth

We might even find the fountains of our youth

And we all needed something real we all need proof

But I just wanna be closer to you

I only wanna be closer to you.
