Closer to You - Carly Pearce

Sunny days and sweet romances, Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by. Time has gone, and far behind you Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. Feel as if it's now or never, We can make it last for ever, Don't ask why. Closer to you, don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you. In the evening, dancing shadows Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free. In our world of empty spaces Strangers in familiar places, you and me.

How soft a whisper can get When you're walking through a crowded space I hear every word being said And I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you How long an hour can take When you're staring into open space When I feel I'm slipping further away I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you These are the days That I won't get back I won't hear you cry Or hear you laugh And when it's quiet And I don't hear a thing I can always hear you breathe You know there's nowhere else I've wanted to be Than be there when you needed me I'm sorry too But don't give up on me And just remember that when you were asleep I got a little bit closer to you

Oh my God, I pray What has the world become? All this constant change What is going on? N' even though it's difficult We'll dance in the unknown Yeah, we got so far to go together As we're trying We're trying We're trying to piece it all Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now, I would die to But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Looking for a sign To help us through the night Imagining your heart Painted in the sky No use crying, crying over what we can't control Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now, I would die to But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Oh oh oh No use crying, crying over what we can't control Rewrite this story With love and glory For crying out loud Wanna hold you right now I would die to-o But I'm not worried No need to hurry Cos with all of these miles I never felt closer I never felt closer to you Closer to you Closer to you (No use crying) No use No use Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser I can't live without you Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser Closer Clo-o-o-o-o-ser I can't live without you

Don't know what to say I'm doing fine, I'm just okay Still stay in my bed All by myself on rainy days And I'm looking at pictures That we took that night Up on the hill There were stars in the sky Don't know what to say I'm doing fine, I'm just okay Thinking 'bout you Thinking 'bout us on sunny days Singing the songs That I wrote just for you I hope that you hear them But I know that you do Ooh, ooh, ooh You left your heart in my hand Ooh, ooh, ooh It's almost like you never left And it brings me closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you Closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you Closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you And it brings me closer Yeah, closer to you Don't know what to say I'm doing fine, but I'm not okay Still hear your voice All on my phone every day And I don't like how you left that day Your mother cried She had nothing to say Ooh, ooh, ooh You left your heart in my hand Ooh, ooh, ooh It's almost like you never left And it brings me closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you Closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you Closer Yeah, closer Yeah, closer to you And it brings me closer Yeah, closer to you

I wanna be closer to you Stop in for a chat, stop in for a glass of wine I want my home to be yours too My castle yours like your castle has always been mine Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again I've made myself a kind of life I changed it once and I changed it twice, not for free I wanna take this life Drive it five hours, park it, throw away the key Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again But I don't even know how to drive Thought I'd hitch a ride from a trucker I met at the casino, oh-oh Well I guess I should get over my fears Get my drivin' license Drive myself to the island oh-oh Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again

Never been all that wrapped up in shiny swimming pools Those material kinda lies they tell Life looks oh so well from the outside in Honeymoons don't end No what I thought I wanted let me down And I don't want it now Keep the house, keep the truck Go downtown, get too drunk Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back Take the bed where you used to lie Keep the friends I never liked And the happy ever after welcome mat But you ain't gonna get this diamond back No never ever gettin' this diamond back You can keep the dog and the Cadillac But you ain't gonna get this diamond back Well, I guess I'll just burn that dress All those fairy tales can go straight to hell Don't need you no more with this 24 carats that I'm wearin' no I don't care if you Keep the house, keep the truck Go downtown, get too drunk Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back Take the bed where you used to lie Keep the friends I never liked And the happy ever after welcome mat But you ain't gonna get this diamond back No never ever gettin' this diamond back You can keep the dog and the Cadillac But you ain't gonna get this diamond back Oh, what I thought I wanted let me down But who's laughing now?

29, that's when you're supposed to find yourself Start drinking whiskey from a higher shelf Stop calling your mom for help 29, you start paying mortgage instead of rent Should be picking out a picket fence Instead of wondering where it went and wondering why But for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down 29, by now I thought I'd have it figured out But I've never felt as lost as I do now And everybody says, "You're only 29" But I feel like I'm running out of time If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine? 'Cause for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down Seems like everybody else is hanging on to it But I swear to God, I've barely made my way through it Oh 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Hey, let's just call it what it was Now I'm never gonna live it down

Midnight, you crawl back swearing you lost track How can you say that with a straight face? Your phone is glowing, you say it's no one It's funny no one calls me this late You tell me I'm crazy, yeah, I know But I gotta see how far you're gonna go The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the eye ability Your lie ability, yeah I'll give you credit, you really sell it The way you tell it, just sounds so good The poison's in the apple, the snake is in the grass The truth about a lie is that it ain't ever made to last The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, the way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, it's killing me Your lie ability, yeah

Cigarettes in the ashtray Sitting on the porch Two empty bottles of Cabernet From the night before A couple of texts I wish I hadn't sent But at the time Had a good buzz, and it felt innocent Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Little black dress in the bathroom From last Friday night Thought I was ready, it was too soon God, I wasn't right Mascara stains on pillowcases Can't stop my mind From going back to broken places Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Everything's gonna be fine Everybody ain't okay sometimes You're fine 'til you're falling apart Over it, back to the start It ain't on your mind 'til you're replaying every memory Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Moving on is messy (everybody ain't okay sometimes) Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Oh, it's messy
