The closer I get to you
The farther you are

You’ve been running
For so long do you
Remember what from?

It’s not like us to commit
To a formal submission

The closer I get to you
The farther away you go
The pavements overflowed
When they knew we were trying to get home
You are the raindrops on the glaze
But I don’t cry much these days
You are the mist before the dawn
But I don’t wake up early anymore

Closer
Get closer

The pavements overflowed
We held our hands up high
Reconstituted safety
For those you left behind

The closer I get
Closer
