Wallflowers, The - Closer To You Lyrics






How soft a whisper can get
When you're walking through a crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you

How long an hour can take
When you're staring into open space
When I feel I'm slipping further away
I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you

These are the days
That I won't get back
I won't hear you cry
Or hear you laugh
But when it's quiet
And I don't hear a thing
Well I can always hear you breathe

You know there's nowhere else
I've wanted to be
Than be there when you needed me
I'm sorry too
But don't give up on me
And just remember that when you were asleep
I got a little bit closer to you

    How soft a whisper can get
    When you're walking through a crowded space
    I hear every word being said
    I remember that everyday
    I get a little bit closer to you, you

    How long an hour can take
    When you're staring into open space
    When I feel I'm slipping further away
    Where I remember that everyday
    I get a little bit closer to you, you, to you, you

    These are the days that I won't get back
    I won't hear you cry or hear you laugh
    But when it's quiet and I don't hear a thing
    Well I can always hear you breathe

    You know there's nowhere else I've wanted to be
    Than be there when you needed me
    I'm sorry too but don't give up on me
    And just remember that when you were asleep
    I got a little bit closer to you, you, to you, you

    You know there's nowhere else I've wanted to be
    Than be there when you needed me
    I'm sorry too but don't give up on me
    And just remember that when you were asleep
    I got a little bit closer to you

    Beautiful song..

  3. T.... A....

    Listening this while I wait for my soul mate

  4. w.... ....

    I miss the year 2002

  5. E.... B....

    Jakob, eyes of heaven, voice of velvet, palate of honey, adorable man of warm soul and Edenic heart. Your father is only a pale shadow compared to you.

    E.... B....

    Early Beloved :) how unique and beautiful your sentiment remains. cool, if he saw it ...

  6. w.... ....

    This is what the year 2000 sounded like. I was 29, so it the end of my 20’s & the beginning of something else

    w.... ....

    wildmercuryfilms yeah bro I’m right there with you. I was in grad school in New Orleans at the time and I wore out this CD. Great great pre-Katrina memories.

  7. G.... ....

    Their best song

  8. I.... R....

    Jakob Dylan is painfully beautiful his wife is so lucky

    I.... R....

    Jakob Dylan's wife's name is Paige Dylan and that she's Bob Dylan's daughter-in-law and I don't mind at all that he's married

  9. s.... ....

    This is one of the best songs I ever woke up and heard, and I never forgot it. The one I love has to know this song and love it too, top 3 prerequisite.

  10. D.... S....

    Beautiful 🖤💕

  11. C.... A....

    I struggled to find this song. I searched for years. I actually forgot about it for a couple years. I FOUND IT! I AM IN ACTUAL HEAVEN!

    C.... A....

    Weird right? I used to hear this song coming home from my overnight job. This was a hit.

  12. D.... a....

  17. t.... s....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever made by anyone!

  18. P.... ....

    Damn, the Wallflowers just take me back to my youth. THIS is what you call MUSIC, not that 1D crap, but don't get me wrong. We had our fair share of bad music; backstreet boys and ..........never mind, ours was mostly great haha

  19. s.... o....

    this song reminds me of my fiance, he lives 3 hours away. He's the love of my life, I'd give anything to be closer to him. What do you guys think of this as our wedding song?

    s.... o....

    @short one It's a nice tune, go for it!

    s.... o....

    +short one I think it's romantic and something different. Congrats and Best Wishes!

    s.... o....

    Just curious if ya'll got married or if the 3 hours was a bit too much to make it work.  Been there.  Lovely song.

  20. C.... M....

  25. B.... B....

    He co-wrote "Two Souls (Angelina)" with Faster Than Flash. You can hear the influence.

  26. J.... L....

    @alisonmariexoxo Surely you must realize this song is from 2002...

  27. T.... ....

  36. L.... M....

    @ktto11 It should not be so, but the shadow of Bob Dylan has this power!

  37. H.... T....

    @ktto11 So underrated? Their second album was 4x Platinum in the US......

  38. e.... b....

    saw this band in Austin in 2002...one of the BEST live shows I have ever seen!!!! saw them in Chicago about three years later...so awful we walked out.

  39. A.... G....

  42. M.... ....

    @C0LL1N bwahahahahahaha that's so, SO true but it made me laugh so hard lol

  43. C.... ....

    @ktto11 because everyone would rather listen to: "ah whip mah hair back n forth ah whip mah hair back n forth." or any of the top 40 songs which are all about shawtys in da club, and how sexy da shawtys be lookin and how fly dey is.

  44. U.... ....

    Someone put this song on myspace with a video for Owen Hart the wrestler who fell to his death 12 years ago. And it's just great. It's a sad beautiful song.

  45. L.... ....

    with the amount of people that watch these vids and post that the band is underrated, idk how they are still underrated!!!

    we should have a National Wallflowers Month......where we all buy every wallflowers song ever off of itunes lol and then petition Barack to give The Wallflowers 13 Billion dollars to fund them making life better for everyone in the world.

  46. A.... C....

    One of the best songs ever!

  47. M.... J....

    "Empire in My Mind" was used as the theme song to the Guardian.

  48. Z.... A....

    I'm looking for the song of the Wallflowers used as a soundtrack for "The Cuardian" tv show. Can anyone tell what its name?

  49. g.... ....

    @sh61288

  50. C.... ....

    I cannot say, I will take it as my wedding song, but I can say, that this song will ever be in my mind
