All night I've been awake
You on my mind
I made a big mistake

To leave you behind
You know it's hard to sleep
On a bed of nails

I know that I was wrong
You knew it all along


I was a fool nothing better to do
Than fail again and blame it on you
Sometimes I don't know how I'll ever get you back

There's so much I need to say
But you're so far away


(chorus)
Ooh Just wanna get closer
Ooh Closer to you

Ooh Just wanna get closer, closer
That's all I wanted to do


So when I wake up
I'll count every move
I need to make

To get back to you
Who knows if time can heal
All that's gone before

But in your eyes once more
Lights on a distant shore


(chorus)

They say there's a northern light

Shining out there
They say there's a happy life
Who can tell me where

They say that love can fly
Like smoke in the air
I don't care what they say

When you're so far away

Ooh Just wanna get closer

Ooh Closer to you
Ooh Just wanna get closer, closer
That's all I wanted to do

Just to be close to you
