 Well you thought you let go, but you’re still hanging on

 Mother earth’s slowing down, she’s still spinning around

 And we are getting dizzy

 I’ll drop out of the race for more personal space

 Cuz the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin

 It’s just how I’m feelin'

 If you need more love, well you’ve got to get close to me

 If you want my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me

 No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I’ll stitch

 You are tears, I’m a cheek, I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks

 Out to sea for weeks

 If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me

 If you want my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me

Oh, if you want my love

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

 I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

 I’ll be the comets that are fallin’ from the sky you light up

 Light up

 You’re my shirt, I an arm

I’m the tick, you’re the bomb

 You’re the L and the V, I’m the O and the E, and we…

Am I speaking clearly?

 If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me

Ooh, if you want my love…

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

 I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

 I’ll be the comets that are fallin’ from the sky you light up…

 Because I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

 I’ll miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch.
