I wish you were closer I wish you were near me I don't want to know That my wishing won't heal me I want you in my arms No sheets between us We never cared If the neighbors could see us I wish you were closer And we were the ones Who figured it out While everyone's wrong And if I could find The guts I'd call you But I'd need new words so The old ones won't hurt you I wish you would drive to mine And cry that the world's sick You could stay all night Until we've healed it I'v been trying hard To find some fun I've been trying to find Something different to want But I want you in my arms Nothing between us I don't want to care And let it free us I wish you would drive to mine And cry that the world's sick I could stay all night Until we've healed it But instead I'm still on my back My neighbors can see I'm having dinner in bed But instead I can't have you back I wish you were close dear It's been such a weird year I wish you would drive to mine And cry that the world's sick I make you stay all night Until we've healed it
