Chasing my tail
Running around in squares
Utopia’s the goal
Though I suspect we won’t get there
But I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer to you
Come a little closer
And do the things we both want to
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that puts me off
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that makes me small
When I’m closer to you
When I’m closer to you
My eyes wandered away
But their feet are tired
The sky was colored as day
Though it’s only at night when I’m inspired
So I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer to you
Come a little closer
And do the things we both want to
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that puts me off
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that makes me small
When I’m closer to you
When I’m closer to you
Do you feel this climate
It’s telling me you’re so far away
But I just keep on chasing
So that we can live another day
Do you feel this climate
It’s telling me you’re so far away
But I just keep on chasing
So that we can live another day
