Lyrics for Close To Me

I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait Until I shake But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me But if I had your face Then I could make it safe and clean Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream
