Jars of Clay

Well you thought you let go
but you’re still hanging on
Mother Earth slowing down
she’s still spinning around
and we… are getting dizzy…
I’ll drop out of the race
for more personal space
Cos the rockets we’re in
get so cold, and I miss your skin
It’s just how I’m feeling
If you need more love well you’ve got to get close to me
If you want my love well you’ve got to get closer to me.
No unreachable itch,
If you hemorrhage I’ll stitch
You are tears, I’m a cheek.
I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks
If you want my love well you’ve got to get close to me
If you need my love well you’ve got to get closer to me
Oooo if you want my love
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I’ll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up (light up)(?)
You’re my shirt iron on. I’m the tick, You’re the bomb
You’re the ‘L’ and the ‘V,’ I’m the ‘O’ and the ‘E’
Am I speaking clearly?
If you want my love well you’ve got to get close to me.
Oooo, if you want my love
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I’ll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up
Cos I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I miss the chills in my spine every time that we touch
