Carlile, Brandi - Closer To You Lyrics

It's hard to let the miles pass me by
Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes
And when the seasons change again then I will too
I just want to be closer to you
I'm staring out at endless rows of green
There are miles of hay like I have never seen
Just when you think you've had enough and
your dreams come true
I just want to be closer to you
My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Tomorrow I'll be lying under you
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into
I know that there might come a day
where my life is through
But I just want to be closer to you
My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Someday we might learn to tell the truth
We might even find the fountains of our youth
We all needed something real we all need proof
I just want to be closer to you
I only want to be closer to you

I miss you so much

<3 beautiful song

Best experience I had working at Kohls was listening to this song on the overhead...

beautiful

Recordar es vivir.

Fantastica

Her voice ❤️❤️❤️

love u natie

just started listening to her music and loving it!!

😍😍😍

It's hard to let the miles pass me by
Yellow lines they blend together in my eyes
And when the seasons change again then I will too
But I just wanna be closer to you

And I'm staring out at endless rows of green
There are miles of hay like I've never seen
But just when you think you've had enough and your dreams come true
I just wanna be closer to you

Oh my mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doing something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into
I know that there might come a day my life is through
But I just wanna be closer to you

Oh my mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doing something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground

Someday we might learn to tell the truth
We might even find the fountains of our youth
And we all needed something real we all need proof
But I just wanna be closer to you
I only wanna be closer to you

Just discovered this gal...pure class..

I've seen her in concert seven times and would go back a million times more. So much raw, unabated talent and passion. If you ever get the opportunity to see her live you will not regret it.

Mine and my girlfriend's song. Our one year in a week. :-D <3
I miss her while we have been 2,000 miles apart... "I just want to be closer to you".

10 years later...still cute&talented as hell!

bea kittelscherz yes right? I'm just hearing this song. Wonder how she got this song on the radio

Now this is a singer, this is music, all of them great musicians, simple (to all appearances) but dreadfully effective !

listen to Brandi is like i`m falling for ya! and getting closer to you even more :D

favorite Brandi song

A Good Singer.

Es estupenda.

This song makes me tear up, and I'm a 175 lb wrestler...

Wolfman B. Lol

YesssssssI agree she will be huge I am just signing on with the composer group that work for Lionsgate and Harpo production and we hope to invite her to Kauia to the Music Festival Her Team have done an amazing Job with.I have sung professionally for many years I listen to Brandy every day...She is excellent!!!

I know your comment was posted a year ago but I finally did hear her on the radio for the first time just a few weeks ago. I was so happy. Then I found out she had just been in my city the month before. Sucks.

Un grain de voix terrible, j adore

She got popular over night!! holy cow. Listened to her like two years ago and now wow! over a million views! :) happy for you Brandi!

Great live version of this song!!
Look how cute Brandi looked back in '06!!!

Her new album Bear Creek is really good

Such a great performance. Watching this to get excited about her new album Bear Creek, Only a couple more weeks! The video that was just released of one of her new songs might be even better than her old stuff... Search "Hard Way Home" on vevo to watch

Great performer. I listened to Hard Way Home as well and it sounded awesome. Seems like she has an excellent line up for this record. Stoked for the 5th of June.

One of the most wonderful sounds I've ever heard. A great combination of voice and country/folk/pop/alternative type sound going on. I've been a fan of Brandi for some time now and she never disappoints. One of the very best in the industry and easily one of the most underrated.

@saolgragaire I agree

@saolgragaire - I agree

Love Brandi and Love this song!

@xococx because carlile is def gay lol

<3 I haven't heard this song in forever. (:
Still makes me smile.

@xococx are you a man or a woman?

@thejerk1126 It's really amazing how much the band has grown since 2006, the time that this video was filmed. There's another youtube of this same song performed at the Austin City Limits music festival just last week. They are super comfortable now and you can tell they were having a great time!

Too stiff..great voice but she tries to sing exactly like the studio version. She needs to loosen it up a bit

very good songs that quality of her lyrics.. me encanta *.*

Everytime I aske if someones heard of Brandi, they always go who? Frig The best singer ever, and she doesn't get her songs played much. :( Come on radio, get better songs!

The real singer - " Sings from the heart".
Well done Brandi, this song it is an example.

I love this. I love you Bailey <3 You're my babygirl forever and ever.
Forever and Always. <3
Lesbians In Love !!!!!!

excelente tema brandi envidiable voz e interpretacion

I love you Jesse, I always want to be closer to you. Your everything I ever wished for. Love always, Jessica

How could 30 people dislike this? HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE?! She's totally awesome, and the song rocks.

She is the female version of mum ford and sons

This is very good singing and songwriting. How it should be done.

I think she looks extra cute in this clip. The "Midnight Oil Twins" still creep me out, though...

@MrChadman121 i think its "Turpentine" that ur talkin about

never get tired of it :D

Such a wonderful voice! There is power to move in those vocal chords and B.C.s lyrisism is quite good as well

@LaniLove7 Thank you for saying that. I completely agree with you!

Saw her on Monday May 16, in Dallas. She was better than I expected. I have been a fan ever since I heard her on a Paste Magazine Sampler years ago. 2 1/2 thumbs up.

BESTIAL

@LaniLove7
Conversely, there are times that something is popular because it the the simplest, unimaginative pile of crap that appeals to the lowest common denominator. e.g. Rebecca Black

she kinda reminds me of Drew Barrymore in this vid.

Yo sólo quiero estar más cerca de ti

love brandi

She is just........AMAZING!!!

26 people's dogs died...

Nakupenda sana Brandi.

To Candi. From Her Candi man.

PALHA PRA CARALHO

@LaniLove7 I couldn't agree more. I'm so sick of these wannabe music snobs who think they are being sophisticated by turning their noses up at anything that is popular . . . I personally couldn't care less if a band is the most popular in all history or has never been seen outside of Barstow . . . good music is good music . . . period. This is a good song . . . the first I have heard from this girl. If the rest is like this . . . I'll likely be a fan.

@Whodisdeya xD it's ok, i have a girlfriend anyway n_n

@byrusmx She's a lesbian.

I can't believe I had the opportunity to play shows with this amazing woman. I would marry her in a heartbeat. I love Tim and Phil. Some of the best human beings on the planet in this group. Her voice is normally MUCH stronger than this, you can tell she's hurting in this video.

She's beautiful, she sings awesome, Brandi Carlile marry me!!!!!!!!!! :D

Now that's music with heart not with skirts
She the topping after the toppings and the second Saturday in the week!!

my favourite song !!

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into
I know that there might come a day
When my life is through
But I just want to be closer to you

I'm seeing her tomorrow in Indy! Front row table! Woot!

She'll be where I live in a week yea!

I love this song!

In love... :)

Actually her biggest influence is Elton John.

@berenice3 right how can one compare her to Tracy chapman?

The lilt in her voice is sublime :-)

Sublime :-)

Ahhh.
I've heard this song literally thousands of times, but she always manages to do something with it live that keeps it fresh. Plus, it's just such a good song that... it never gets old.
For me, anyway.
Yay Brandi and the twins!

hammer :)

Three months ago
I was speaking of love, not of sex.
Women understand that.
I am am beyond pontifications such as yours.
I can only assume you are (sadly) a man.

She's Fabulous.

I love her. So much.

wow what an old soul this one has. reminds me of erin enderlin.

@jilliebeanzandfranks

But she is famous (in my country !),
not sure what you're saying.
I think she is brilliant, whether or not she is considered 'famous'.

Very good, wonderful.

Quality recording of a fine artist.

YEAH!!!!! Concert 12/12/09 in Oakland -
I'm soooo excited!!!

Just because a lot of people like something doesn't make it lame. That's like saying the Beatles( just an example) suck because 90% of people like them. Many people like them 'cause they're so good. Just because something is popular doesn't automatically make the artist a sellout.

That too:) I play the guitar, so I admire her extensive guitar collection....like I said, her music is beautiful.

It's her, not the guitar. So you want to kiss her hands?

amazing

Yes she is fantastic. Her new album is already out. "Give up the ghost".

she's brilliant! i can't understand why she's not as famous as she deserves to be. Does anyone know when her new album is out?

I'd love
to love her...

I want to kiss her guitar. It's beautiful!!! And so is her music.

id love to kiss her soul

There's a couple of postings, try " Brandi Carlile Yodeling in Boston" for a wicked yodellling exercise - it makes ya feel like getting your lederhosen on ;)
