Well you thought you let go, but you're still hanging on

Mother Earth's slowing down

She's still spinning around and we......are getting dizzy



I'll drop out of the race for more personal space

'Cause 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 gotta get close to me

If you want my love, well you've gotta 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



But if you want my love, well you've gotta get close to me

If you need my love, well you've gotta get closer to me

Ooh, 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

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



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 gotta get close to me

Ooh, if you want my love:



I don't understand why we can't get close enough

I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch
