Closer Lyrics

Now I yearn to follow you in.
Everything I do
All those years in isolation
Helped me want for you

Lead me to a place I'm free
From all the wrongs I do
In return
I'll live my love forever loving you

Closer
I'm here to be closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
Closer
I'm ready now
Closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you

In my mind
Eternal darkness
Seemed like it was true
Oh so wretched
Oh so lost
Until my saviour knew
I was weary, I was sleepy
But you held me though
Carried me along the sand
Your footsteps gold and cooth.

Closer
I'm here to be closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you
Closer
I'm ready now
Closer
Closer
To you, to you, to you, to you

All those years in isolation
Isolation, isolation.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Actual lyrics: Now I yearn to follow you in everything I do All those years in isolation helped me want for you Lead me to a place I'm free from all the wrongs I do In, in, in, in return I'll live forever loving you

Closer, I'm here to be closer Closer to you, to you, to you, to you Closer, I'm ready now closer Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh!

In my mind, eternal darkness Seemed like it was true (True, true, true) Oh so wretched, wretched, wretched, wretched My savior knew I was weary (I was lost) I was sleepy but you held me through Carried me along the sand your footsteps gold and good

Closer, I'm here to be closer Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh! Closer, I'm ready now closer Closer to you, to you, to you, to you... Oh!

All those years in isolation Isolation... Isolation...
