It's hard to let the miles pass me by

Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes

And when the seasons change again then I will too

I just want to be closer to you

I'm staring out at endless rows of green

There are miles of hay like I have never seen

Just when you think you've had enough and

your [bad word] [bad word] 
I just want to be closer to you

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from

I tried not to let you down

Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you

With a heart of gold and arms to fall into

I know that there [bad word] a day

where my life is through

But I just want to be closer to you

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from

I tried not to let you down

Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Someday we might learn to tell the [bad word] 
We might even find the fountains of our youth

We all needed something real we all need proof

I just want to be closer to you

I only want to be closer to you
