I'm there in the bed with my wife
And she’s looking for some room to sleep
And I'm there touching her shoulder
Hoping that maybe we could dream the same dream
I stare into space awake I lie
Wondering how close could get her and I
And closer, you see what I want is closer
Oh, I'm always there trying to get closer
Oh Closer oh closer than we’ve been before
Always trying to get closer
Cuz that's where I want to go sir
How can I say what I'm trying to say
Lonely for somebody who's an inch away
And closer, you see what I want is closer
Now it's time to pick out a restaurant
And I'm still thinking about getting closer
A take out stand is often where I want to go sir
Cuz I really don't want that expensive kind
When how to get closer is what's on my mind
And closer, you see what I want is closer
Well now I’m always there thinking about closer
Oh Closer well closer than we’ve been before
Oh closer Cuz that's where I want to go sir
Oh yeah
