Well you thought you let go
But you're still hanging on
Mother Earth's slowing down
She's still spinning around and we
Are getting dizzy

I'll drop out of the race
For my personal space
'Cause the rockets we're in
Get so cold and I miss your skin
It's just how I'm feeling

If you want my love, well, you've got to get close to me
If you need my love, well, you've got to get closer to me

No unreachable itch
If you hemorrage, I'll stitch
You are tears, I'm a cheek
I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks

If you want my love, well, you've got to get close to me
If you need my love, well, you've got to get closer to me

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees, all wrapped up
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up

I'm your shirt, iron on
I'm the tick, you're the bomb
You're the 'L' and the 'V'
I'm the 'O' and the 'E'
Am I speaking clearly'

If you want my love, well, you've got to get close to me
If you want my love

I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees, all wrapped up
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I'll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch
