Close to Me (The Cure cover) Lyrics

I've waited hours for this
I worried myself sick, yeah
I should have stayed asleep today
I cant believe I was close to this
I cant believe that you would ever be
This close to me
Close to me, yeah just trying to see in the dark
I'm just trying to make it work
Sorry dear, I didn't even come near
Now you're assuming the shapes go out of focus
Well, you still take my breath away
But I'm still looking for a day, oh
Close to me, yeah and if I had your faith
Then the net on the door was a dream
I've seen it all before
I would have saved you the grace, oh

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.
