Closer Than I Appear lyrics

Lock all the doors an` turn out the lights.
Work this thing through till we get it right.
But if I seem angry an` cold,
Or I don`t speak at all,
It`s just that old fear,
`Cause baby, I`m closer than I appear.

An` here are the facts, as much as I know.
We`ve got to turn back if we can`t let it go.
You know your heart an` your mind.
An` I`m just three steps behind,
But I feel those tears,
`Cause baby, I`m closer than I appear.
Yeah, baby, I`m closer than I appear.

`Cause somewhere inside, I`m reachin` out for you.



Somewhere inside, we both know the truth.
But I learned lots of rules `bout what a man`s made of,
An` I got to rethink what I know about love.
Hey, I`m willin` to change.
If I still seem the same, well it`s just them old fears.
An`, baby, I`m closer than I appear.

If I was born to stand here, an` give you nothing but love,
To fill up these years,
Then, baby, I`m closer than I appear.
Yeah, baby, I`m closer than I appear.

Well, come closer, an` I`ll come closer.

Well, come closer, closer than I appear.
