[Verse]
Billy was a young boy throwing bricks
Running through town with his finger flipped

Crying inside for the love he missed
Kissing your face with pale fist


He could fly
He could fly


[Verse]
Missy was a swimmer in her own school team
Cut through the water like a fish in the stream

But when she got home and heard her mother scream
Put her fingers in her ears and began to dream


She could fly
She could fly


[Chorus]
Closer what do you say?
It was all too much to bear

Closer were not the same
It was not your pain to share
And I will never be a hero

But I can look you in the eye
Ill try Ill try Ill try


[Verse]
Norma was a shadow in the back of the class
Never saw her move never heard her ask

Hiding from the words thought they cut like glass
Hiding from your friends and away you left


She could fly
She could fly


[Chorus]
Closer what do you say?
It was all too much to bear

Closer were not the same
It was not your pain to share
And I will never be a hero

But I can look you in the eye
I'll try Ill try Ill try


[Bridge]
And one day they will need you
Oh he will need them plenty

And one day they will love you
But they will know your friends
And when they will know like I do

Like I do eh yea yea
They will know like I do
Like I like I like I


[Chorus]
Closer what do you say?

It was all too much to bear
Closer were not the same
It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye
Ill try Ill try Ill try
