Closer
Westlife Lyrics

Across the miles
Despite the distance between us, I can feel your presence near me.

It's funny to me
I find it ironic how far we are, yet it seems like you are right next to me.

How far you are but now
Although you are physically far, my heart feels you are close.

Near you seem to be
Your love makes it feel like you are right by my side.

I could talk all night
I could stay up all night just to hear the sound of your breathing.

Just to hear you breathe
The sound of your breathing is soothing and comforting to me.

I could spend my life
I would be content spending my entire life loving you.

Just living this dream
Being with you feels like living a dream come true.

You're all I'll ever need
I don't need anyone else but you, you are my everything.

You give me strength
Your presence gives me the courage to face anything.

You give me hope
Your love gives me hope for a brighter and happier future.

You give me someone to love someone to hold
You are the one I love and hold, the missing piece in my life.

When I'm in your arms
Being in your arms feels like home, where I belong.

I need you to know
I want you to understand and feel the depth of my love for you.

I've never been
I have not experienced this kind of love before.

I've never been this close
I feel a level of intimacy with you that I have never known before.

With all the lovers
Despite having been with others in the past,

I used to know
I kept my distance and never truly gave them my heart.

But in your arms I know I'm safe
With you, I feel safe and secure, like nothing can hurt me.

'Cause I've never been held
I have never experienced the warmth and comfort of being held like this.

And I've never been kissed in this way
No one has ever kissed me with the passion and tenderness that you do.

Close enough to see it's true
Our closeness allows me to see the truth of our love.

Close enough to trust in you
I trust you completely because of our close and intimate bond.

Closer now than any words can say
Our bond is so strong that words cannot fully express our closeness.

And when, when I'm in your arms,
The feeling of being in your arms is indescribable.

I need you to know I've never been
I want you to understand that I have never experienced anything like what we share.

I've never been this close
I feel incredibly close to you in a way that is new and wonderful to me.
