Closer to You Lyrics

Oouuuh ouuh ouuh
hmm hmm

i decided i could be happy on my own
find a way to get it done when i needed to be strong
always choosing safely i was going it alone
never taking chances just in case i might be wrong
but i'm feeling a longing inside me
and i'm taking a road i've never seen

closer to you
closer to you
further from me
closer to you

i was scared if you were mine i'd only let you down
i was cold when you were kind
but you always stayed around
i had doubts but you believed
that one day i'd let go
you never lost your faith in me
and i want you to know

that i'm moving toward you, i can see you
and i'm leaving the way i've always been

closer to you
closer to you
further from me
closer to you

...

and i'm feeling a longing inside me
and i'm taking a road i've never seen
i'm moving toward you, i can see you
and leaving the person that i've been

closer to you
closer to you
further from me
closer to you

closer to you
closer to you
further from me
closer to you

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.
