I am closer to believing, Than I ever was before
On the crest of this elation, Must I crash upon the shore
And with the driftwood of acquaintance
Light the fire to love once more
I am wind blown I am times
To be closer to believing, To be just a breath away
On the death of inspiration, I would buy back yesterday
But there's no crueler illusion
There's no sharper coin to pay
As I reach out It slips away
verse 2
From the opium of custom, To the ledges of extremes
Don't believe it till you've held it, Life is seldom what it seems
But lay your heart upon the table
And in the shuffling of dreams
Remember who on earth you are
I need me, You need you, We want us
verse 3
But of course you know I love you, Or what else am I here for
Only you not face to face, But side by side for evermore
And I need to be here with you, For without you what am I
Just another fool out searching, For some heaven in the sky
Take me closer to believing, Take me forward lead me on
Through collision and confusion
While there's life beneath the sun
You are the reason I continue, So near for so long
So close yet so far away
Chorus 1
I need me, You need you, We want us to live forever
So don't let the curtain fall
Measure after measure, Of writing on the wall
That burns so brightly, It blinds us all
Chorus 2
I need me, You need you, We want us to be together
On Sundays in the rain
Closer than forever, Against or with the grain
To ride the storms of love again
verse 4
So be closer to believing, Though your world is torn apart
For a moment changes all things, And to end is but to start
And if your journey's unrewarded
May your God lift up your heart
You are windblown
But you are mine
