Liz Phair | Lyrics | Closer to You

I see the things you do
Do you think I wander through, half-blind?
I see the things you hide
The fear you have inside's nothing new

But I would never wanna find out
Everything about you
'Cause I would never wanna find out
What I thought wasn't true

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough for me to start
Breaking through and closer to you, closer to you

I love you as you are
Here and not too far out of view
I love the way you walk
To hear it when you talk like you do

But I would never wanna choose
What I like best about you
'Cause I would never wanna spoil
That mystery with a clue

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough for me to start
With enough holes in my soul I don't need your rock n' roll
To stay in tune and open to you, open to you

Oh, the abyss
Mess of all those frustrating fools
They wander all around
Black and white, no sound, no improvements

But I see something on a TV
With a smell and a choice
When I feel yours and my heart beating
With the wealth of the universe

Your mind is a place I don't need to embrace
What you've got in your heart is enough for me to start
Making your happiness my own
Open up and let me show what I can do
When I am closer to you, closer to you
