Closer Lyrics

Performed by Jars Of Clay

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

"Closer", my new Jars Favorite! | Reviewer: LynnieKennie | 12/10/08

I have already written a review that did NOT get posted about "Closer", but here goes again. This song is "deep" and I can't get past any Jars song, until it has finished "ministering" to me. Yes, the WORD is "Trees" and not "Dreams". There is even a picture of trees on the EP Cover. God is Love and His Love is expressed to each of us, through other people, and His Holy Spirit. We are His hands & feet, and sometimes His voice. We are His arms when someone just needs a hug. This song is about recognizing that receiving Love is about giving His Love! Again, KNOW God and KNOW Love; because He is love. God bless! Lynn

Yes, it is TREES | Reviewer: Lynn Winters | 12/9/08

I love, love, love this song. Of course, I love all of Jars of Clay. I went back a second time to try and change the word "dreams" to "trees", and I don't think that the system let me; so I am submitting my change here. I think that since God is Love; this is a VERY DEEP song. If we want & need LOVE, we are simply needing to get more God in our lives, and we experience that LOVE through other people that also NEED His LOVE. I cry through this entire song and I can't even get past the message of it, yet! God is LOVE! We are His hands & feet and His voice, when a lost heart needs Him. We receive LOVE by giving LOVE. Love is NOT self-centered, however.

Trees | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/21/08

Yes, it is trees. Plus it makes a lot more sense as trees. Is this song about another person, like a love song? I dont think I have ever heard a song by them that was a love song (not for a Saviour) hehe.

Looking for Clarity | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/23/08

This is a beautiful song. This may sound silly but i've listened to this song over and over again to see if those lyrics posted are correct about a certian part of the song. The part that is posted as "I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up" in the song sounds like " I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up". I know that i may be wrong, but could someone please clarify this part of the song for me. I would really like to know if it's "trees" or "dreams"..
