Well it's amazing and I'm O.K.
I've got a rhyme and I've just got my reasons
But if there's a better way

Well it's something that I'd love to find
Slip away to my secret place
There is something I can believe in

I'm alone but I'm not afraid
Just need to rearrange my mind


And oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me


I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to

I'd rather be close to you

Even if it is make believe

You find the numbers you paint the picture
Then pretty soon you begin to see
As it all just appears so slow

And how wonderful it would be
Stumble into the hidden pleasures
Making time and a memory

Please don't tell me you have to go

And oh can't you see me,

Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me


I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you


Oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me

Oh I know you feel me please believe me

I'd rather be

I'd rather be
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to

I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be

I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
