Closer Lyrics - Closer - Better Than Ezra

And the morning light was breaking 

Slowly moving across the bed 

He gets up without her waking 

To the voices in his head 

Through the shadows in the hallway 

To the room they painted blue 

And on the inside he is frightened 

At a loss for what to do 

Until he opens up his eyes 

And the angels all look down 

Even closer than this life, closer than your faith 

Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain 

Closer than this life, falling through again 

Giving more than anything that you could hope to win 

And he knows his life is changing 

It's never easy letting go 

For the first time you are mortal 

As the child before you grows 

And he wonders at the sight 

Of the joy that they have found 

Even closer than this life, closer than your faith 

Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain 

Closer than this life, falling through again 

Giving more than anything that you could hope to win 

And what would you intend to find? 

Solitude? Your peace of mind? 

Holding out for something less 

Than touching the hand of God? 

Even closer than this life, closer than this faith 

Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain 

Closer than this life, falling through again 

Giving more than anything that you could hope to win 

Closer than this life, closer finally 

Living for the only thing 

You ever made complete, oh, for the one thing 

That you both did perfectly
