Closer Lyrics

[Hook]
[Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
(closer, closer, closer)
I just know we getting closer
Closer than I've ever been]

[Verse 2]
My whole life's been a chase, it's a gift and a curse
Was on my way up to the top and slipped into reverse
And the same thing I thought killed me brought out the real me
And that's real, see

You gotta find what you love and let it kill you
Just gotta live with the will like Uncle Phil do
Cause on the real, everybody go through times when the sun don't shine
Don't know when our time will come, but it will come in time
Cause yo, I said it first, ain't no telling where I'm headed
So this is for the people that was with me when I said it
And when I said it, I meant it
I swear I won't forget it
Told my family and my friends that I'm forever indebted

[Hook]
[Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
(closer, closer, closer)
I just know we getting closer
Closer than I've ever been]

[Bridge]
You start losing your mind when you're gone all the time and you always on the move
And you try to remind yourself it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true
But I know we're getting closer


[Bridge]
[You start losing your mind when you're gone all the time and you always on the move
And you try to remind yourself it's gonna be fine
And you hoping that it's true
But I know we're getting closer]

[Hook]
[Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
Closer, closer
Closer than I've ever been
I just know we getting closer
(closer, closer, closer)
I just know we getting closer
Closer than I've ever been]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
