Lyrics

**Verse 1**
Every night when I hold the phone
Listening to your voice for hours
I find myself wanting more
Than conversations after dark

We laugh about the little things
Share our dreams and secret fears
But when it's time to say goodbye
I wish that you were here

Pictures only tell a story
They can't replace your touch
And no matter how much we talk
It never feels like enough

Because somewhere between the laughter
And the promises we make
My heart crossed a line, baby
And now it's more than I can fake

**Pre-Chorus**
I don't just wanna know about your day
I wanna be a part of it too
I don't just wanna hear your heartbeat
I wanna be right next to you

**Chorus**
I wanna be closer
Closer than I've ever been
Close enough to know your smile
Before it even begins

I wanna be closer
Closer to your heart tonight
Close enough to share your dreams
And hold you through the night

No more distance between us
No more wishing from afar
I wanna be closer, baby
Exactly where you are

**Verse 2**
When the rain comes pouring down
I wanna be the one you call
When life gets heavy on your shoulders
I wanna help you carry it all

I wanna know your morning habits
The little things nobody sees
The way you dance around the kitchen
The way you hum when you're at ease

I wanna learn your favorite memories
And every lesson life has taught
Be the one who understands you
Without a second thought

I don't need perfection, baby
I just need what's real and true
And every road keeps leading me
Back to loving you

**Pre-Chorus**
The more I learn about you
The deeper my feelings grow
And every day that passes by
Confirms what I already know

**Chorus**
I wanna be closer
Closer than I've ever been
Close enough to read your eyes
And know exactly where you've been

I wanna be closer
Closer to your soul somehow
Not someday in the future
I wanna start right now

No more dreaming from a distance
No more staring at the stars
I wanna be closer, baby
Exactly where you are

**Bridge**
Let's stop counting all the miles
Let's stop talking through a screen
Let's turn all these hopes and wishes
Into something we can see

I wanna build a life together
One moment at a time
Creating memories that last forever
With your hand inside mine

Because love was never meant to live
Only in imagination
It deserves a chance to grow
Beyond anticipation

**Final Chorus**
I wanna be closer
Closer than words can explain
Close enough to kiss away
Every hurt and every pain

I wanna be closer
Closer through the highs and lows
Closer through every season
Wherever life may go

No more wondering what could happen
No more loving from afar
I wanna be closer, baby
Exactly where you are

**Outro**
So open up your heart a little
And let these feelings come alive
Because every dream I've ever carried
Has you standing by my side

I wanna be closer...
Closer than before...
Closer every day...
Until distance exists no more.
