Close Lyrics

across the miles
it's funny to me
how far you are but now
near you seem to be
i could talk all night
just to hear you breathe
i could spend my life
just living this dream
you're all i'll ever need

you give me strength
you give me hope
you give me someone to love someone to hold
when i'm in your arms
i need you to know
i've never been
i've never been this close

with all the lovers
i used to know
i kept my distance i never let go
but i your arms i know i'm safe
cos i've never been held
and i've never been kissed in this way
you're all i'll ever need
you're all i'll ever need

close enough to see it's true
close enough to trust in you
closer now than any words can say

and when, when i'm in your arms,
i need you to know i've never been
i've never been this close

you give me strength
you give me hope
you give me someone to love someone to hold
when i'm in your arms
i need you to know
i've never been
i've never been
i've never been
i've never been this close

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.
