Close to You (original 1998 version) Lyrics
"Close to You" (original 1998 version)
Far Too Jones
Album: Picture Postcard Walls
Watching daybreak chase shadows from you
As you cling to sleep
There's a moment in my world, I don't want to breathe
I just want to be, quietly close to you
Chorus:
I see myself
As a hand me down, all broken in
I see myself
Tattered and torn, I can be brand new
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
I don't ever let anyone ever tell me
What it is they think I need
They've never seen the way you look at me
As if there's something in me, that nobody else can see
I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you
Cause you bring me up, you bring me out, you bring me in
And I want to be, I want to be close to you
[Chorus]
I never see things the way I did
Instead I find I ain't satisfied with the man, the man I think I am
And I ain't satisfied at all
You know it's true
Anything you want, yeah, anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you
[Chorus]
I wanna be close to you
You've been too far away

As you cling to sleep
There's a moment in my world, I don't want to breathe
I just want to be, quietly close to you
I see myself
As a hand me down, all broken in
I see myself
Tattered and torn, I can be brand new
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
What it is they think I need
They've never seen the way you look at me
As if there's something in me, that nobody else can see
I keep one hand in the filth of my life, one hand I keep for you
Cause you bring me up, you bring me out, you bring me in
And I want to be, I want to be close to you
Instead I find I ain't satisfied with the man, the man I think I am
And I ain't satisfied at all
Anything you want, yeah, anything you need
I want to be the one you come to, I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one to, I want to be close to you
You've been too far away

Not a very well known band but this song "Close to you" is the best song ever! It is my favorite song of all time. I love the lyrcis, I love the singers voice, I love how it always reminds me of someone who will always be the one that I wanted to run to. I listen to this song atleast once a day. It is a GREAT song!!!!!
