Cover art for Closer lyrics by Anberlin

Well, this whole cd is actually about how he has been lead astray from God. He wants to change back to where his relationship was before he stoped focusing on Him. In this particular song, he wants to know if he can come back, because he feels unworthy. He asks "do you accept me" he knows he isn't in God anymore, and he is afraid. He knows God can hear him, he knows that He is real, but he is so deep into what he wants (selfishness), he is afraid that God doesn't want him anymore, because God doesn't listen to the prayers of those against Him. He realizes that he betrayed God, but he wants to be closer to God.
